Fabergé Eggs in Flash Movies

Fabergé Eggs in Flash Movies

Fabergé Eggs are so beautiful, it is such a pity that paper (or web pages) cannot show you the sheer beauty of them. You have to go to musea and exhibitions to really see and feel the beauty.

When I saw my first Egg in Berlin in 2004 I was so moved; the Eggs seemed to live, the glitter and shining, they were so much more beautiful and totally different than I had imagined.

To see the Eggs you will have to travel the world. If you are lucky there might be an exhibition in your country or in a country nearby. You will have to go to musea all over the world, and still some Eggs you will not see for they are in private collections.

I wonder if there are people who have seen all known Fabergé Eggs! There are probably some, how very lucky they are!

But not everyone can travel and so I am very pleased to show you some of the little Flash movies I made from material described below. These little movies will give you a very small idea of how the Eggs look like, seeing them from different angles. You might even see a diamond glitter or sparkle from time to time!

Enjoy!

The little swf movies I made using the following material:

1. The A&E DVD Video "The Czar's Fabergé Eggs".

"Exquisite works of art and fascinating relics of a vanished era. They are among the most valuable and prized treasures on earth. The jeweled Easter eggs created by Peter Carl Faberge for the Russian Czar Nicholas II represent the zenith of the jewelers' art. They helped secure Faberge a reputation that lasts to this day, and embody an age of opulence that came to a sudden, horrific end. THE CZAR'S FABERGE EGGS goes behind the scenes at the former Forbes Collection the world's largest and the Hillwood Museum in Washington D.C. for an up-close look at many of these magnificent creations. Curators and experts reveal the amazing features that make each one a masterpiece, while historians show how the history of the waning years of Russian royalty can be traced by the changing themes of the unique creations. From the court of the czars to today, here is the complete story of some of the most fascinating and beautiful artworks ever created".
