Good night, friends!
This is my entry for the PhotoChain Challenge - 42th Edition hosted by @davidesimoncini. The keywords for this week are Shoes and Mural, which were chosen by the previous winners of the challenge: @pardinus and @ainie.kashif.
My personal keyword for this week is Art.
I saw this excellent mural while I was roaming the streets of Vienna, while trying to find the way to my hotel. From the distance I initially thought it was a Graffiti mural and I approached it to take some photos.
When I got closer I realised it was something else - a Mosaic Mural. And what a great one it is! 🤗
The first image is a crop from the following photo:
Next, I took some close up shots of the main parts of the mural. Just take a look at the incredible details of this bagpipe player.
The details are really great, from the hat to the shoes. What a fantastic piece of art, isn't it?
The other 3 characters in the mural were equally amazing. It seems like a scene of a woman handing out a few spare change to a priest... At least, I'm assuming he's a priest because of his clothes, hair and beard style. He reminds me of a Franciscan Priest.
The work on the dresses is very good but the heads and faces take this piece to another level. 😊
To the right side of the mural there is a reference to a lady (Frau Kärcher). I searched a bit on Google but came out empty handed, as I only saw a small reference in a Deutsche written page.
I have no idea of who this Kärcher woman is... and if she was important or remarkable in any way. But I assume she was, since the Street was named after her: Kärchergasse.
I hope you enjoyed this small article and my photos! 😊

Wooow, amazing mosaic art! It´s perfectly made.
Thanks for your visit! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Wow! incredible work, so full of beautiful details.
Thanks... Would you say this is Street Art... or a different thing altogether?
Good question! I don't think that street art is just spray paint on house, stencil paintings and stickers. Sculptures and knitting that are integrated into trees, light art and the like is definitely urban art and possibly it goes under the term Street art, if it exists in the public space...
Excellent post my dear friend @trincowski
I loved that mural. It was done with great dedication and care.
Thank you for showing us so many beautiful things from the different countries of our world.
Cheers
You're welcome... I'm glad you liked it. It's a pity that I can't get any new material, though. I wonder if travelling will ever be on the cards again? 🤔
You can even read a bit of emotion on their faces. Hard to believe that is possible considering they are chunky tiles. Whoever did this was quite talented and had a vision. !BEER
