artistic ebellishments on the facade of the Hotel Saint Nicholas in Remich Luxembourg.
The artist Mario Eremita in 1994 was commissioned to decorate the external part of the facade of the Hotel Saint Nicholas in Remich Luxembourg. Yje client has no idea what he would like to create but wamts something that recalls the most important local attraction: the Moselle river.
In fact, it is precisely the calm and serenity of the river that attracts many tourists from Germany and France who come here to spend a few days on weekends and during holidays.
Mario Eremita proposes a bas-relief on the facade of the Hotel positioned along a band that runs along the entire front. The band is not very high, about 60 centimeters and extends for a few tens of meters.
As you can admire in the photos, the bas-relief proposes the figurative theme of boys and girls playing or engaged in dancing or fishing. The title of the artwork is: “Moselle Allegories”.
The reference to the Moselle is that of fishing, an activity that was once fundamental to the life of local populations.
Music and dance, which are a favorite theme of the artist, recall the ideal of harmony and serenity typical of those places.
