In the Mesnerhaus Mauterndorf, a historic treasure in the mountains dating back to 1420, we not only fill our guests with culinary delights, but also with artistic inspiration. Here, in our listed 4-toque restaurant, art and pleasure have found a very special combination. This is a place where Maria and Josef Steffner – not only as hosts, but also as art lovers – want to pamper their guests with all their senses.
This season we would like to present our current art exhibition, which has been selected by Maria and Josef Steffner with great enthusiasm. They are always on the lookout for beautiful, aesthetic inspiration and talented people from all over the world. This passion for art is reflected in the current exhibition by Italian artist Antonella Zazzera.
“Antonella Zazzera, an artist from Todi, Perugia, has created a unique world with her works that has fascinated us from the very beginning. Her sculptures, which at first glance seem to have nothing to do with the world of textiles, cast a spell over us,” enthuses Maria Steffner. In her works, one senses a deep connection with the craft, and she shows us the beauty and diversity of art in an unexpected form.
The use of copper in Zazzera’s works has a profound historical significance. Josef Steffner emphasizes: “Copper was one of the first metals to be used by humans for processing. It has a long history and a special significance in the development of mankind.” This connection to history and tradition fascinates us, and it is an honor to present this art in the Mesnerhaus.
The Mesnerhaus is not only a place for culinary enjoyment, but also a space where art and culture are celebrated. The sculptures by Antonella Zazzera are framed by our historic ambience and blend seamlessly into the atmosphere of this extraordinary place. Maria and Josef Steffner know how to combine art and pleasure and offer their guests a unique experience.
The sculptures by Antonella Zazzera bring the room to life and give it a magical atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow, the lightness of the sculptures and the complexity of their meaning make this exhibition a highlight of the season.
“The Mesnerhaus is not just about eating and drinking, but about experiencing art and culture in all their splendor. We are proud to be able to present this exhibition and look forward to taking our guests on this artistic journey,” says Maria Steffner.
