Cosmic Multicultural Bucharest in the Pandemic (129):
Near the Romanian Athenaeum
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poem-essay) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design)
A beautiful thing in the solar system is the Romanian Athenaeum, made in the 1890s to be not only the host of the art universe, but also the emblematic building of Bucuresti.
Its architect was French, its columns are Greek, its suggested spheres are celestial.
It also includes portraits of great Romanian rulers, the names of some human disciplines, names of Romanian writers, an interior fresco with the history of the Romanian people, while names of illustrious creators (Homer, Beethoven, Michelangelo, Shakespeare etc.) appear written on its dome.
In October 2020
I photographed here
the Moon, the planet Mars and Venus the Morning Star,
thinking that many of the magnificent performances at the Romanian Athenaeum
will be broadcasted there
by the future television of the solar system.
