'Fun Fact Friday' (a twist on our cocktail facts for this week!) ππΌπ¨
Had the absolute pleasure to visit Austria with my time off recently and we had to go and see the original painting that you all love from the Bar.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna holds a breathtaking collection of famous artists but most importantly (over the Rembrandts and Ruben's!) they hold the whole 'The Four Elements' by Guiseppe Arcimboldo, Italian artist (1526 - 1593).
Part of the four elements is 'Water' (1566) which a copy hangs proudly next to the Bar (a wonderful present from my parents when M's first opened).
The other elements are Earth, Air and Fire which you can see in the short video.
Just had to share with you all as the painting is always a talking point in the Bar. Can you see the 60 aquatic and marine creatures in the painting?!
