How graciously she sits on her shell-shaped rocaille plinth: Urania, the Heavenly One, the Muse of Astronomy. A sculptural work masterfully executed in 1748 by genius modeller Johann Joachim Kaendler, it embodies with the utmost aplomb the very spirit and aesthetic thrust of voluptuous, formally exuberant Rococo art. A veritable work of miniaturised art is the decoration of the celestial globe. Our painter, Tabea Pfeifer, has fashioned the colourful scenes of the stars with the finest of brushwork against a gossamer-blue night sky.
