Adraen Frans Boudewijns (Brussels 1664 - Brussels 1711) and Pieter Bout[Brussels 1658- Brussels 1719) An Extensive River Landscape with Figures around a Village with a Town in the Distance & An Extensive Mountainous Landscape with Figures before a Building the first signed ‘F. Bauduin’ (lower left); the second signed ‘F. Bauduin’ (lower centre) oil on canvas, a pair each 51.4 x 63.2 cm (20¼ x 25 in) (2) Set against a dramatic backdrop of undulating mountain scenery and peopled with brightly lit figures, this pair of paintings presents an exquisite example of the Flemish landscape genre. In An Extensive River Landscape with Figures around a Village with a Town in the Distance, a group of figures in the foreground stop to converse on a well-travelled road. Beyond them, two people make their way along the path leading towards a lake, where more figures and two horses are faintly identifiable. Near the lake, the edge of a town can be seen and in the centre of the painting, a building is nestled within the landscape in front of which stand a herd of cows and a farmer. To their right, a river meanders its way through the craggy landscape where further buildings are situated. In An Extensive Mountainous Landscape with Figures before a Building, a horseman passes a man talking to two women, one of whom sits down to rest; nearby a child clad in blue and a loyal dog wait patiently. Beyond them, two figures follow the path as it curves round to a bridge over which a herdsman guides his cattle. -

Boel, Etude De Lions
Fiche oeuvre Auteur Pieter Boel (Anvers, 1625 – Paris, septembre 1674) œuvre Etude de lions Date Entre 1668 et 1674 Technique Huile sur toile Dimensions 71,2 x 92 cm Provenance Décors de la ménagerie de Versailles, répartis à la fin du XIXe siècle dans les Musées de France. Mots-clés Lion, Versailles, Dessin scientifique. CONTEXTE Le règne de Louis XIV (1661-1715) marque l'apogée du premier empire colonial français. Placées sous l'autorité du secrétariat d'Etat à la marine puis sous celle d'un bureau des colonies, les possessions françaises sont au cœur d'un commerce florissant régi par le système de l'Exclusif, aucune colonie n'étant autorisée à faire commerce avec l'étranger. Selon le mercantilisme de Colbert et comme le mentionne l'Encyclopédie : Les colonies n'ont été fondées que pour l'utilité de la métropole. Cette nouvelle prospérité permet le développement considérable de ports comme Nantes, Bordeaux ou Lorient. Au cœur de cette économie coloniale, l'esclavage, régi par le Code noir de 1685, est alimenté par le commerce triangulaire. Les esclaves, tous originaires d'Afrique, sont alors considérés comme une marchandise. Ils permettent également l’importation d’animaux rares comme le lion. ARTISTE Initié par son père graveur, Pieter Boel entre en apprentissage probablement chez les peintres de natures mortes et d’animaux d’Anvers Frans Snyders puis Ian Fyt. Entre 1647 et 1649, il se perfectionne en Italie où il rencontre un vif succès notamment à Rome et Gênes, où il s’inspire des compositions animalières de Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione. De retour à Anvers vers 1650, il est reçut franc maître de la guilde et il s’y marie. -
La Girafe De Charles X
Compléments au dossier Zarafa, rédigé par Lolita Ruffino La girafe de Charles X Dès l’Antiquité, les Européens connaissaient l’existence des girafes. Certaines avaient été importées d’Afrique pour participer aux jeux du cirque à Rome. C’était cependant assez rare. Après la chute de l’Empire romain, pendant mille ans, au- cune girafe n’a été transportée en Europe. Il a fallu attendre le XVe siècle, pour que la famille Médicis de Florence reçoive une girafe du sultan d’Égypte et à nouveau plus de trois cent cinquante ans avant de voir une girafe en France. Un cadeau diplomatique pour le roi Méhémet-Ali, vice-roi et pacha d’Égypte, souhaitait renforcer ses liens avec les royaumes européens. Il décida d’envoyer un cadeau spectaculaire, deux jeunes gi- rafes, une au roi de France, Charles X (1824-1830), et une au roi d’Angleterre, George IV (1820-1830). Les deux animaux furent capturés sur les bords du Nil Bleu, très en amont de Khartoum au Soudan. Les mères furent immédiatement tuées car in- domptables et difficilement transportables. Après un premier voyage de plus de 3000 km, les girafons arrivèrent à Alexandrie. Un prétendu tirage au sort aurait dé- cidé du sort des deux animaux : Londres ou Paris. En fait, la décision avait déjà été prise et la plus vaillante et la plus âgée était destinée à la France. La plus chétive fut envoyée en Angleterre où elle mourut quelques mois plus tard. La girafe fran- çaise fit l’objet de préparatifs minutieux. Elle partit pour la France accompagnée de deux antilopes et trois vaches pour garantir le lait indispensable à sa survie. -

Audience for a Giraffe: European Expansionism and the Quest for the Exotic
2JWH_353-398 9/26/06 6:19 PM Page 375 Audience for a Giraffe: European Expansionism and the Quest for the Exotic erik ringmar National Chiao Tung University here were, broadly speaking, two great waves of European expan- sionism—one in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century andT the other in the nineteenth century. In the first wave the world was “discovered” and then explored; in the second wave, it was deci- sively invaded and occupied. People in other parts of the world have certainly engaged in similar expansionist enterprises—Huns and Mon- gols, Muslims or Indic groups in Southeast Asia, among others—but for some reason the results were never the same.1 What we ended up with, and what we still have, is an economic, political, and cultural world system with a center in Europe and in the successors to its North American colonies. The question is only how these two waves should be explained. The most common explanations are economic. Thus the first wave of expansion is seen to correspond to the commercial revolution that was taking place in Europe at this time.2 It was the revival of trade, the argument goes, that brought European economies to life, that boosted 1 For an overview, see for example Janet L.

Une Girafe Pour Le Roi Par Thérèse Jomat
Une girafe pour le roi par Thérèse Jomat Conférence du mardi 22 novembre 2011 Texte et illustration fournis par la conférencière, mise en page de Christian Lambinet Société Hyéroise d'Histoire et d'Archéologie Voici Zarafa II, conçue par le sculpteur Jean Michel Rubio, faite en livres et revues. Installée en haut de la Canebière pour les bouquinades de 2009. Mais hélas, subissant l'inculture des supporters de foot, elle est incendiée dans le nuit du 16 Mai 2010. L'événement soulève une vive émotion et, à la place, voici Zarafa III et son girafon Marcel. Statues en métal installées en octobre 2010 comme borne de "livres-échange". Mais qui est la première Zarafa ? C'est d'elle dont je vais vous raconter l'histoire. Zarafa II Zarafa III et son girafon Bernardino Drovetti, zélé consul de France au Caire, conseiller privé de Mohamet Ali, Pacha d' Egypte, glissa à l'oreille du Pacha d'offrir un présent spectaculaire et insolite au roi de France en lui faisant miroiter la reconnaissance infinie du roi pour détourner l'attention des exactions commises en Grèce. Bernardino Drovetti Mohamet Ali Méhémet Ali En effet l'Egypte se trouvait dans un climat chargé de nuages. Les grecs révoltés de l'île de Chio avaient été, en 1822, massacrés par les turcs avec l'aide des troupes égyptiennes. Le rôle d'un diplomate était d'apaiser les différents entre les deux pays. Méhémet Ali accepta volontiers. A l'automne 1824, le vice roi ordonne donc à ses chasseurs arabes de capturer un girafon dans les hautes savanes sud du Soudan. -

Exhibition Checklist Woven Gold: Tapestries of Louis Xiv
EXHIBITION CHECKLIST WOVEN GOLD: TAPESTRIES OF LOUIS XIV At the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center December 15, 2015 – May 1, 2016 In the hierarchy of court art, tapestry was regarded, historically, as the preeminent expression of princely status, erudition, and aesthetic sophistication. Extraordinary resources of time, money, and talent were allocated to the creation of these works meticulously woven by hand with wool, silk, and precious- metal thread, after designs by the most esteemed artists. The Sun King, Louis XIV of France (born 1638; reigned 1643–1715), formed the greatest collection of tapestries in early modern Europe. By the end of his reign, the assemblage was staggering, totaling some 2,650 pieces. Though these royal hangings were subsequently dispersed, the largest, present repository of Louis’s holdings is the Mobilier National of France. With rare loans from this prestigious institution, Woven Gold: Tapestries of Louis XIV explores and celebrates this spectacular accomplishment. This exhibition was organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum in association with the Mobilier National et les Manufactures Nationales des Gobelins, de Beauvais et de la Savonnerie. We gratefully acknowledge the Hearst Foundations, Eric and Nancy Garen, and the Ernest Lieblich Foundation for their generous support. Catalogue numbers refer to Woven Gold: Tapestries of Louis XIV by Charissa Bremer-David, published by The J. Paul Getty Museum numbers refer to the GettyGuide® audio tour Louis XIV as Collector, Heir, Patron By the end of Louis XIV’s reign, the French Crown’s impressive holdings of tapestries had grown by slow accumulation over centuries and by intense phases of opportunistic acquisition and strategic patronage. -

La Belle Africaine: The Sudanese Giraffe Who Went to France Abstract Abstract In 1826, Mehmet Ali of Egypt sent a giraffe from somewhere in what is now the Republic of the Sudan to King Charles X of France. The first live giraffe ever to reach France, she arrived when public museums and zoos were emerging, inspiring scholarly and popular interest in science and the world beyond French borders. This article studies the career and “afterlives” of this giraffe in France and relative to giraffes at large in the Sudan, in order to trace a Franco-Sudanese history that has stretched from the early nineteenth century to the present. At the same time, viewing this connected history in the aftermath of the 2011 secession of South Sudan, when colonial and national borders appear contingent and subject to change, this article approaches the Sudan as a zone (as opposed to a fixed country) within global networks of migration involving people, other animals, things, and ideas. -
