Claude Monet helped expose the deception of hotel guests
Critics have found that the London hotel Savoy, offering guests a stay in a room by Claude Monet, where the artist lived and painted views of the Thames, in fact misleads customers. In reality, the impressionist stayed in a nearby room, wrote The Daily Telegraph. Make this conclusion the researchers have helped themselves the work of Monet. Professor John Thornes (John Thornes) from the University of Birmingham said that a reference point for scientists served as Cleopatra's Needle - the ancient Egyptian obelisk on the Victoria Embankment. In particular, they studied the geometric ratio, in which Cleopatra's Needle in the pictures is on piers of the bridge. Monet stayed at the hotel three times, and in total have lived there for six months. In 1899, he lived on the sixth floor, but in 1900 and 1901 under the House floor given to soldiers injured in the Boer War, and the artist lived on the floor below. Every morning, he painted the sunrise over Waterloo Bridge and Charing Cross, going to work with extraordinary meticulousness. Work at the Savoy Monet advised his friend, the painter James Whistler. Scientists compared the landscapes of Monet's works with Whistler, who lived on the sixth floor, and found the differences: American artist painted a large triangular area surface water for Waterloo Bridge, which is not visible on any picture Frenchman. Consequently, Monet painted the bridge, located on the fifth floor, on the balcony. As a result, scientists have come to the conclusion: in 1899 the artist lived in rooms 610 and 611, and then - right under them, in rooms 510 and 511. Savoy also equipped the "Monet Room" (Monet Suite) in rooms 512 and 513. Night in a room for two people costs 720 pounds a special two-day program-paid meals costing customers of 2600 pounds. http://www.lenta.ru/news/2010/06/02/monet/ Последний раз редактировалось Тютчев; 03.06.2010 в 04:35. |

"What is the Pantheon, resting place of the best of the best? The Cathedral, built in 1789 - just on the eve of the revolution - in place of the ancient church of St. Genevieve, patroness of Paris, originally planned for Louis XV as a Catholic church. Curiously, even becoming a revolutionary necropolis, the Pantheon (in translation from the Greek "a place dedicated to the gods") and then repeatedly changed its purpose: it once again became a church, then again turned into a secular mausoleum. And in the days of the Paris Commune was even her staff. The architect Jacques Germain Pantheon Souffle incarnation of his project and did not wait. It is alleged that the architect died, unable to bear against opponents of the project, which argued that building on the hill of St. Genevieve, as large structure (length 110 meters, width 84, height 83 meters) is impossible. The hill was partially hollow: the ancient Romans made a career here for the extraction of clay. But the temple was built -, and what! His dome above the "bowl" of the columns, which became the highest point in Paris, served as a model of the Capitol in Washington and St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Sculptural group on the pediment of the work of David L'Ange crowned with the inscription: "Great people - a grateful fatherland." The artist was instructed: Subjects must be appropriate for any political regimes. Therefore, there are shown and allegories homeland, freedom and history, and scientists, philosophers, and Napoleon, with barabanschikomY According to legend, L'Ange gave last appearance Andre Etienne, an old imperial drummer. One day the farmer came to Paris and saw himself on the bas-relief near Bonaparte. This so shocked the ex-drummer, that he died on the spot. In the Pantheon, of course, it is not buried.

Being-in-death Nicolas Sarkozy has decided to take care of the posthumous fate of Albert Camus. He proposed to move the remains of the flagship of existentialism in the Parisian Pantheon, call it in the posthumous fame of Voltaire, Hugo and Zola. A scandal broke out: the proposal by French President were relatives of Albert Camus, and leftist intellectuals accused Sarkozy of trying to earn popularity on behalf of the author of "Plague" and "outsider". Ashes of Albert Camus rest in the cemetery LOURMARIN small town in southern France - where in 1958 the writer bought a house, and there he bequeathed his burial. In January 2010 the date of death of Albert Camus - he crashed in a car accident - 50 years old. In a circular dated and linked the proposal to transfer the remains of Nicolas Sarkozy, a writer in the Pantheon. In the former church of St. Genevieve's distinguished sons of the fatherland were buried during the Great French Revolution. Since the middle of the XIX century the remains to the Pantheon tolerate less and less, and the selection becomes more severe, less buried in the Pantheon departed contemporaries, and more - those whose status is not subject to revision. This, of course, particularly true classical writers. For example, during the years of Jacques Chirac in the Pantheon reburied the remains of only two people, and that writers: Alexandre Dumas pere and Andre Malraux.

A more detailed article about Monet and London:
The fog is like a lie Famous London Hotel Savoy suddenly found itself in an embarrassing situation caused by art historians. For several years the hotel took a lot of money from their guests for the right to stay in the room, where for several months he lived a great impressionist Claude Monet, and looking out the windows of which, created his famous series of misty landscapes with views of the Thames. However, scientists studying the painting, came to the conclusion that in this issue of the artist never stopped. Claude Monet, perhaps the most famous portrait painter in London, even though the Frenchman. His landscapes of the Thames, Westminster Abbey, Waterloo Bridge and Charing Cross have formed our view of the misty British capital is hardly less than the stories of Conan Doyle. From London related to many episodes in the life of Monet. It was in this city in 1870, when the Franco-Prussian War: A 30-year-old staunch Republican, did not want to defend the interests of Napoleon III and fled to England. In London he met with Dobin and Pissarro and began work on the Thames and views of Hyde Park, which is dominated by fog. Critics point out that nature has created all the conditions of the artist: winter 1870-1871 years in London was the worst for the whole XIX century. The next important artistic journey Monet in the British capital have fallen to the verge of XIX and XX centuries. Misty results of his work the artist presented at the exhibition in 1904 in Paris: the 37 works - the London landscape. "London to me like more than the English countryside. Yes, I love London. It's like mass, as an ensemble, and in this case is simple. Most of all I like London fog. As British artists of the nineteenth century could write their homes brick by brick? London I love only in the winter. In the summer the town is good for its parks, but it is not in any way be compared with winter and winter fog: no fog London would not be a beautiful city. Fog gives it an amazing scale. Under its mysterious veil, monotonous, massive blocks become grandiose, "- said Monet.

I'm sorry, but if you write "Christie", this word should in this case the decline.
Ie write "to" Christie's. It's absurd that, I hope, understand? It is better to write the company name correctly: "Christy." Then the decline is not necessary. In addition, the French name "Nicola" is always written the above manner. Whence idiotic "Nicolas" I'll never know. Nicolas Poussin? |
