architecture
- April 21 : The Bern Society House Museum , built according to plans by Johann Caspar Wolff , is ceremoniously opened with a gala concert by the music society.
- The “New House” of the Vienna Court Opera on the Ringstrasse , built by contractor Josef Hlávka in neo -renaissance style, will be completed after around eight years of construction. The opening takes place on May 25th in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth with a performance of the opera Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Eduard van der Nüll and August Sicard von Sicardsburg , the architects of the building, which has been denigrated by critics as the “ Königgrätz der Baukunst”, died last year .
- August 20 : The Hamburger Kunsthalle , built in the style of the Italian Renaissance based on designs by Georg Theodor Schirrmacher and Hermann von der Hude , opens.
The project drawing by Neuschwanstein from 1869 takes on the approximate structural form of the Wartburg , but has been enriched with romanticizing details. The keep in the left half of the picture and the bastion garden in the front right were not realized.
- September 5 : The foundation stone for the New Hohenschwangau Castle is laid in the Ammergau Alps . The building is built for the Bavarian King Ludwig II as an idealized idea of a knight's castle from the Middle Ages. The designs come from Christian Jank , while Eduard Riedel and Georg von Dollmann are responsible for the execution .
- September 21 : The Royal Court Theater in Dresden , built by Gottfried Semper , is destroyed in a fire due to carelessness in repair work. Construction work on an interim theater on Zwingerwall behind the ruins of the old theater begins just four weeks after the fire disaster . After only six weeks of construction, the venue, which was built with simple construction equipment, offers space for around 1,800 people and is popularly known as the “Shack”, will open on December 2nd with Goethe's Iphigenie on Tauris .
- In Vienna, the construction of the Palais Hansen, designed by Theophil Hansen as a hotel, also in the neo-renaissance style, begins .
painting
- Spring: Édouard Manet completes the painting The Balcony . The models for the oil painting were the painter Berthe Morisot , the violinist Fanny Claus and the painter Antoine Guillemet . In contrast to many other pictures by Manet, the picture is accepted by the Paris Salon . This time, too, this does not protect the painter from being rejected by the majority of his critics.
- Berthe Morisot paints the painting The port of Lorient in oil on canvas .
