A Castle on the Bosphorous
Achille Etna Michallon (Paris 1796 - Paris 1822) A Castle on the Bosphorous signed and dated 'Michallon/1816' and inscribed in Polish on the mount brown wash over pencil on laid paper watermarked:..ANDERLEY, with original wash-line mount 33 x 46.5 cm (13 x 18⅓ in) The sails of this formidable ship just catch the strong wind, as it tilts and breaks through the fierce waves. Achille Etna Michallon pays particular attention to the intricate detailing of the rigging on the three square- rigged masts above its ribbed hull. A figurehead stands out at the bow, whilst the crew work furiously at the stern to guide the magnificent ship along. Aloft the front mast is a flag, not that of the Ottomans, with its crescent and star, but a simple tricolor, indicating that it is either a French or Italian ship, both of which had strong trade links with Constantinople and saw merchants and their families taking up residence in the Pera region of the city. The broad belly of this full rigged ship is accentuated by its wide horizontal bands and inside, its probable cargo of raw materials, such as wool, silk, cotton, alum, beeswax and animal hides, is being safely carried. The power of the rolling and breaking waves, as they froth around the hull, are deftly captured by Michallon. This is contrasted by the calmer waters near the shoreline, where other ships and gullets are moored. Above these, on a raised promontory, are the remains of a castle, with fortified walls reaching down to the sea - possibly the remnants of the sea walls which once enclosed the city of Constantinople on the sides of the Propontis (Sea of Marmara) and the gulf of the Golden Horn.

They were in- nocent of having stolen the Mona Lisa, but they were in fact guilty of having stolen other art from the Louvre—for in Picasso’s dresser lay hidden several ancient Iberian statue heads that had been stolen from the Louvre in 1907 by Apollinaire’s secretary, Honore-Joseph Gery Pieret, almost certainly on commission from Picasso himself, who may also have assisted in the theft.

Morse’s first major painting there, The Dying Hercules (1812 – 1813, Yale University Art Gallery), earned high praise. Returning home in 1815, full of optimism and national pride, Morse confronted an artistic climate unfavorably disposed to history painting in the grand manner and was forced to turn to portrait painting for financial support. Throughout the late 1810s and 1820s, he painted portraits of clients in cities and towns along the Atlantic seaboard. His practice as a portraitist and his ambitions to advance a strong national art came together in his first great picture,The House of Representatives (fi G.

Comportament Idéal Proustien?
L'Indifférent: Comportement... 21 L’I N D I F F É R E N T : COMPORTEMENT IDÉAL PROUSTIEN Carmen Lúcia Cruz Lima Gerlach Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina La première publication de L’Indifférent de MARCEL PROUST fut dans La vie contemporaine et Revue parisienne réunies, le premier mars 1896, de la page 428 à la page 439. Le 22 septembre 1894, PROUST avait écrit à Reynaldo Hahn: “Je suis à une grande chose que je crois assez bien et j’en profiterai pour supprimer de mon volume (Les Plaisirs et Les Jours) la nouvelle sur Lepré, l’opéra etc., que vous faites copier” (Corr., t. I, p.333). Cette “grande chose”, c’est “La Mort de Baldassare Silvande”. La “nouvelle sur Lepré, l’opéra etc.”, c’est L’Indifférent. Le texte sacrifié connaîtra cependant son destin personnel, puisque PROUST le donnera en 1896 à La vie contemporaine et qu’il réutilisera certains de ses matériaux (notamment les fameux “catléias”) lorsque, en 1910 , il écrira Un amour de Swann, deuxième épisode de Du côté de chez Swann. À cette époque, il demandera à Robert de Flers s’il peut lui procurer un exemplaire de la revue où était parue cette “nouvelle imbécile” dont il avait besoin (Corr., t. X, p. 197). Perdu par PROUST, ce texte n’a été retrouvé qu’en 1978 par Philip Kolb, qui l’a publié, accompagné d’une excellente introduction (Marcel PROUST, L’Indifférent, Gallimard, 1978). Philip Kolb fixe la date de sa composition à l’été 1893. PROUST semble avoir emprunté à WATTEAU le titre de sa nouvelle.
