Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Membership card of the Potsdam Art Society, Pen and ink on stone by Adolph Menzel from 1836 with allegorical depiction of the benefits of artistic work in the service of charity, described by Menzel himself as Stock certificate. To the right of the centre Menzel's monogram and the date 1836. To the left stone engraving by M. Weigel in Berlin. In a letter of 17 October 1836 Menzel writes to his friend Puhlmann about the drawing: "I hope that the respectable gentlemen will be able to understand that the groups on the right hand of the picture refer to the advancement of art, and those on the left hand to charity; it does not need to be remembered, I think everything is self-explanatory; I intend to execute the arabesque as a evergreen." In a letter of 5 November 1836 Menzel wrote: "Here are a few impressions of the Stock certificate, I have left the space for the name of the Shareholders below the hands on which the wheel of Fortuna turns...".
Deutsch: Mitgliederkarte des Potsdamer Kunstvereins, Federzeichnung auf Stein von Adolph Menzel aus dem Jahr 1836 mit allegorischer Darstellung des Nutzens künstlerischer Arbeit im Dienst der Wohltätigkeit, von Menzel selbst als Actie bezeichnet. Rechts neben der Mitte Menzels Monogramm und das Datum 1836. Links Steindr. v.M. Weigel in Berlin. In einem Brief vom 17. Oktober 1836 schreibt Menzel an seinen Freund Puhlmann über die Skizze: "Die respektiven Herren werden sich, hoffe ich, in den Hauptsachen daraus zu vernehmen wissen daß die Gruppen rechter Hand vom Bilde aus sich auf die Beförderung der Kunst, und die linker Hand auf die Wohlthätigkeit beziehen, braucht wohl nicht erst erinnert zu werden, es erklärt sich, denk ich, alles selbst, die Arabeske beabsichtige ich als Immergrün auszuführen." In einem Brief vom 5. November 1836 schreibt Menzel: "Es folgen hier ein paar Abdrücke von der Actie mit, den Raum für den Namen des Actionair's habe ich unterhalb der Hände, auf denen sich das Rad der Fortuna dreht, frei gelassen..." |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
