The queen mother was regent until Louis came of age in 1614, but she continued to govern for three years thereafter. As part of her policy of allying France with Spain, she arranged the marriage (November 1615) between Louis and Anne of Austria, daughter of the Spanish king Philip III. By 1617 the king, resentful at being excluded from power, had taken as his favourite the ambitious Charles d’Albert de Luynes, who soon became the dominant figure in the government. Louis exiled his mother to Blois, and in 1619–20 she raised two unsuccessful rebellions. Although Richelieu (not yet a cardinal), her principal adviser, reconciled her to Louis in August 1620, the relationship between the king and his mother remained one of thinly disguised hostility. Anne declared sole regent to Louis XIV after Louis’s death in 1643 Versailles France Before the sixteenth century, the land around Versailles was prime hunting territory. On becoming king, Louis XIII often returned to hunt in Versailles. In 1623, he built, at the top of a small hill, a simple pavilion, or hunting lodge, made of brick, stone and capped by a slate roof. Louis XIII transformed and enlarged this first castle (the Château des Cartes) from 1631 to 1634. Philibert le Roy undertook work on the first true château and widened the building, rebuilt the wings and added four houses. While work was in progress, Louis XIII acquired new lands. He intended to retire to Versailles as soon as the Dauphin reached his majority, but the king's premature death in 1643 prevented him from fulfilling his wish.

Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact.

  • Place Saint-Michel the Place Saint-Michel Is
    Place Saint-Michel The Place Saint-Michel is simple – a triangle between two streets, uniform buildings along both, designed by the same architect, a walk of smooth cobblestone. The centerpiece is St. Michael defeating a devil; far above them are four statues symbolizing the four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice. This monument came to be because of the 1848 Revolution and a cholera epidemic in Paris that followed it which killed thousands. This idea of abstract concepts given human form had been popular during the Revolution, the big one, representing the kind of big virtues – like the Four Cardinal Virtues – that everyone could strive for, instead of a single human being whose actions and legacy would turn people against each other. Simultaneous with the creation of Place Saint-Michel, Napoleon III’s renovation brought the Boulevard Saint-Michel into being, and that is the next part of our walk. Facing the fountain with the river at your back, walk on Boulevard Saint-Michel, it’s the street to your left. Walk away from the river along that street. Ultimately, you’ll be turning left on Rue des Écoles, but it’ll be about five minutes to get there, and you can listen to the next track on the way. Boulevard Saint-Michel The character of the street you’re on – wide-open space lined with trees and long, harmonious buildings, plus, often, a view of some landmark in the distance – was a central part of the renovation plan, or the Haussmann plan, as it’s also known.

  • CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL from the Arc De Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens
    CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL From the Arc de Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens Don’t leave Paris without experiencing the avenue des Champs-Elysées (shahnz ay-lee-zay). This is Paris at its most Parisian: monumental side- walks, stylish shops, grand cafés, and glimmering showrooms. This tour covers about three miles. If that seems like too much for you, break it down into several different outings (taxis roll down the Champs-Elysées frequently and Métro stops are located every 3 blocks). Take your time and enjoy. It’s a great roll or stroll day or night. The tour begins at the top of the Champs-Elysées, across a huge traffic circle from the famous Arc de Triomphe. Note that getting to the arch itself, and access within the arch, are extremely challenging for travelers with limited mobility. I suggest simply viewing the arch from across the street (described below). If you are able, and you wish to visit the arch, here’s the informa- tion: The arch is connected to the top of the Champs-Elysées via an underground walkway (twenty-five 6” steps down and thirty 6” steps back up). To reach this passageway, take the Métro to the not-acces- sible Charles de Gaulle Etoile station and follow sortie #1, Champs- Elysées/Arc de Triomphe signs. You can take an elevator only partway up the inside of the arch, to a museum with some city views. To reach the best views at the very top, you must climb the last 46 stairs. For more, see the listing on page *TK.

Pont Neuf Wrapped by Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Art of Aesthetics Cassandra Jones Art 525: Art History Seminar June 15, 2015 Jones 2 As one of the most exciting art movements of our time, environmental art celebrates our connection to the natural world through beauty, science, and metaphor. The Le Pont Neuf Wrapped, 1985, by Christo and Jeanne-Claude expresses the points inherent to this movement, combining an engagement between performance and environmental art. These artists interpose within a chosen environment, and in doing so, cause us to identify with that environment in a new way. Wrapping the Pont-Neuf continued this tradition of successive transfiguration through a new sculptural dimension, transforming it into a work of art. The visual effect of Le Pont Neuf Wrapped intervened into the natural state of the bridge. The wrapping process reveals symmetrical shapes and angles that epitomize the very idea of what constitutes a bridge, connecting geographical units and people.

  • St. Peter's Basilica
    UF “ROME PROJECT” LESSON 1 Reading and comprehension COLOSSEUM The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome. It’s the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire. It is elliptical in plan and it’s 188 metres long. Inside the Colosseum there were about 50,000 seats for the spectators. The height of the outer wall is 48 meters. The Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions and dramas based on Classical mythology. The Colosseum is one of the symbols of Imperial Rome. ST. PETER’S BASILICA The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter is commonly known as Saint Peter's Basilica and it is a Late Renaissance church located within the Vatican City. In Roman Catholic tradition, the basilica is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. The basilica is within a forecourt in two sections, both surrounded by tall colonnades. The basilica is cruciform in shape, with an elongated nave in the Latin cross form. The basilica contains a large number of tombs of popes considered outstanding artworks. There are also a number of sculptures in niches and chapels, including Michelangelo’s “Pieta”. The central feature is a baldachin over the Papal Altar designed by Lorenzo Bernini. The Basilica of St. Peter is one of four papal basilicas (Major Basilicas) of Rome: the other basilicas are The Basilica of St. John Lateran, Santa Maria Maggiore and St.

  • (Thalamus) in Images of the Annunciation of the 14Th-15Th Centuries in the Light of Latin Patristics
    International Journal of History and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) Volume 5, Issue 4, 2019, PP 49-70 ISSN 2454-7646 (Print) & ISSN 2454-7654 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-7654.0504005 www.arcjournals.org The Symbol of Bed (Thalamus) in Images of the Annunciation of the 14th-15th Centuries in the Light of Latin Patristics José María Salvador-González* Professor of Art History, Faculty of Geography and History, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain *Corresponding Author: José María Salvador-González, Professor of Art History, Faculty of Geography and History, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain Abstract: This article attempts to interpret the doctrinal meanings hidden under the bed symbol in some images of the Annunciation of the 14th and 15th centuries. For this purpose, thirteen Annunciations of this period which include that piece of furniture are analyzed, and in passing some inadequate interpretations that have been given about any of these pictorial images are evidenced. To justify our interpretations, we rely on an abundant corpus of texts through which many Fathers and theologians of the Latin Church consider the thalamus concept as an eloquent metaphor for the incarnation of the Son of God as a man in the Virgin Mary’s womb, as well as for her virginal divine maternity. Keywords: Christian Iconography – Medieval Art – Annunciation – Christ’s Incarnation. The increasingly complex and detailed images of the Annunciation of the 14th and 15th centuries include almost always some narrative details –such as a stem of lilies,1 a book of prayers, a house in the form of a temple,2 the divine ray of light descending, with the dove of the Holy Spirit, towards the Mary‘s ear,3 or the submissive and demure attitude of the Virgin Mary4—, whose respective symbolism has been highlighted, with greater or lesser success, by numerous experts.

  • Wandeling Langs De Seine
    Wandeling langs de Seine Van Pont de la Concorde tot Pont Neuf Deze wandeling loopt door het 1e, 6e en 7e arrondissement Begin: Metro Concorde Eind: Metro Pont Neuf Afstand: 4 km Duur: 1,5 - 2 uur De achthoekige place de la Concorde is een immens plein vol verkeer. Het is haast onmogelijk over te steken, maar je kunt er ook omheen lopen. Het plein is een prachtig punt met indrukwekkende gebouwen eromheen. De Champs-Elysées komt erop uit aan de westkant, aan de andere kant ligt de Jardin des Tuileries met het Jeu de Paume en de Orangerie. Aan de noordkant staan twee prachtige gebouwen, het peperdure Hôtel Crillon en het ministerie van Marine, beide gebouwd door architect Gabriel. Ten zuiden van het plein stroomt de Seine met de Pont de la Concorde. Het plein werd aangelegd in 1775 als place Louis-XV, maar in 1792 werd het stand- beeld van die koning neergehaald en werd het plein herdoopt in place de la Révolu- tion. Een jaar later werd er een guillotine opgesteld en binnen korte tijd werden hier ruim 1300 mensen een kopje kleiner gemaakt. Na de Revolutie werd het plein place de la Concorde (plein van de Eendracht) gen- oemd. In het midden verrees een obelisk uit Luxor, een geschenk van Egypte. In de acht hoeken van het plein staan beelden van de Franse steden Brest, Rouen, Lille, Straatsburg, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux en Nantes. Steek de Seine over via de Pont de la Concorde, voor een deel gebouwd met stenen van de verwoeste Bastille. din des Tuileries.
