@AventuraObscura It was, in fact, a whole calendar🤣 Here a taste of what Afterlife holds for us. Well, at least for male deceased...

Petrichor - the smell of earth and grass after the rain.

It's raining (a bit) in #Berlin. Time for another rainy painting by Lesser #Ury. One, however, that would've smelled of wet asphalt, though.

A map of the 1896 Berliner Gewerbeausstellung (Industrial Exposition) in today's #Treptower Park, an event which electrified the city and the country that year. Even the Alps were present (see last tweet): made by a #Berlin construction company, Boswau & Knauer. #BerlinCompanion

What do Gainsborough's "The Blue Boy", Burg Frankenstein & Berlin have in common?

Artificial dye known as Preußisch Blau, invented by accident 1706 by JH Diesbach & JK Dippel in #Berlin. 1st named #BerlinerBlau & then used by Prussian army (uniforms) & thus called Prussian Blue.

@_fionalaughton Mixed feelings, ey?

It's #LesserUry time of the day again.

#Berlin's main boulevard, Unter den Linden, on a rainy day.

#OTD 1920 at #Marmorhaus cinema on Kudamm 236 Robert Wiene presented his new film, now a masterpiece of Expressionist cinema & invaluable source of inspiration for many film-makers, "Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari". Filmed in only 4.5 weeks in Lixi-Studios in #Berlin-Weißensee.

The potatoes were no random Xmas baubles: #Gotzkowsky's master, Friedrich II (the Great), more or less forcefully introduced them in #Prussia ("Kartoffelbefehle"). After initial problems (eating them raw & complaining about the taste), they became the staple of local cuisine.

@olgatuleninova Reminds me of Lesser Ury's #Berlin paintings.
