Rhein (molecule)
Rhein, also known as cassic acid, is a substance in the anthraquinone group obtained from rhubarb. Like all such substances, rhein is a cathartic. Rhein is commonly found as a glycoside such as rhein-8-glucoside or glucorhein. Rhein was first isolated in 1895. It is found in rhubarb species like ''Rheum undulatum'' and ''Rheum palmatum'' as well as in ''Cassia reticulata''. Originally the rhubarb plant which contains rhein was used as a laxative. It was believed that rhein along with other anthraquinone glycosides imparted this activity. Rhein has been reevaluated as an antibacterial agent against ''Staphylococcus aureus'' in 2008. Synergy or partial synergy has been demonstrated between rhein and the antibiotics oxacillin and ampicillin. Rhein has been shown to inhibit the fat mass and obesity-associated protein, an enzyme responsible for removing the methylation from N6-methyladenosine in nucleic acids. The pharmacokinetics of rhein have not been intensively studied in humans ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rhein II
''Rhein II'' is a colour photograph made by German visual artist Andreas Gursky in 1999. In the image, a river (the Lower Rhine) flows horizontally across the field of view, between flat green fields, under an overcast sky. Extraneous details such as dog walkers and a factory building were removed by the artist using digital editing. In 2011, a print was auctioned for $4.3 million (then £2.7m), making it the most expensive photograph sold. ''Rhein II'' held the record until 2022, when its price was exceeded by '' Le Violon d'Ingres''. Production The photograph was produced as the second (and largest) of a set of six depicting the river Rhine. In the image, the Lower Rhine flows horizontally across the field of view, between flat green fields, under an overcast sky. It was taken near Düsseldorf, at a location Gursky had previously photographed in 1996. Dissatisfied with his earlier image, Gursky "thought about whether I ought perhaps to change my viewpoint ...

Rhein (photograph)
''Rhein'', also known as ''Rhein I'', is a colour photograph created by the German photographer Andreas Gursky in 1996. The photograph had a six copies edition. This was the first version of a photograph that become better known with his second version, '' Rhein II'', in 1999. The photograph was created using digital manipulation, which removed several human references, including people and buildings. The final result, showing the river flowing across green fields, beneath a blue cloudy sky, has similarities with the abstract paintings of Barnett Newman. Peter Galassi stated that: "Behind Gursky's taste for the imposing clarity of unbroken parallel forms spanning a slender rectangle lies a rich inheritance of reductivist aesthetics, from Friedrich to Newman to Richter to Donald Judd... (with) images that read like horizontal versions of Newman paintings." This version has less vivid colors and a narrower field of vision than '' Rhein II''. Three prints of this photograph are a ...
