William-Adolphe Bouguereau,
Oil on Canvas. 1874
Before I became interested in art, I attended an exhibition of W.A. Bouguereau at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. I was mesmerized from the beginning and remain so whenever I see his art. Before the pandemic, I was blessed to have another opportunity when the San Diego Museum of Art hosted an exhibition of his work. I chose this painting and photographed it in sections. This girl is so perfect in my eyes that I chose to make it a portrait. I added my interpretation in editing. The original of this painting can be seen at www.bouguereau.org/Enfant-Tressant-Une-Couronne-Child-Bra...

The fabulous city of Dinant in the Meuse Valley, Belgium. The city is the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone.
The symmetry of this hanging bridge underneath that big bridge in Luxembourg city is great. I was happy nobody walked or cycled passed when I took this photo.

J'ai cherché quelques photos de ma collection communarde, en ce jour anniversaire de le Commune (-;
Le palais grand-ducal de la ville de Luxembourg est un édifice style Renaissance du XVIe siècle et la résidence en ville du grand-duc, chef d'État du Luxembourg depuis 1890. Il se trouve au centre de la vieille ville, non loin de la place Guillaume II.
Depuis l'avènement du Grand-Duc Adolphe en 1890, le Palais Grand-Ducal sert de résidence officielle au souverain après que cet édifice ait été Hôtel de Ville de 1572 à 1795, siège de la préfecture du Département des Forêts en 1795, et finalement résidence du Gouverneur, représentant du Roi Grand-Duc des Pays-Bas en 1817. En tant que tel il fut utilisé par le Prince Henri, lieutenant-représentant de Guillaume III au Luxembourg.
Sous le règne du Grand-Duc Adolphe, le Palais Grand-Ducal fut complètement transformé et une aile nouvelle, l'aile de Bade, fut rajoutée dans la cour. Elle abrite les chambres de la famille grand-ducale et les chambres des invités. Elle fut construite par l'architecte bruxellois Gédéon Bordiau, assisté de l'architecte de l'État Charles Arendt.
Pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, l'occupant allemand a utilisé le Palais grand-ducal pour y organiser des concerts et y a installé une taverne, la «Schlossschenke». Une rénovation complète (1992-1996) a rendu au bâtiment sa splendeur d'antan.
La partie ancienne, entre les deux tours, est de style Renaissance, la partie médiane, de style Baroque, a été remaniée en 1891 en style Renaissance.
The Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg City is a 16th century Renaissance style building and the city residence of the Grand Duke, Head of State of Luxembourg since 1890. It is located in the center of the old town, not far from Place Guillaume II.
Since the accession of Grand Duke Adolphe in 1890, the Grand Ducal Palace has served as the official residence of the sovereign after this building was City Hall from 1572 to 1795, seat of the prefecture of the Department of Forests in 1795, and finally residence of the Governor, representative of the King Grand Duke of the Netherlands in 1817. As such it was used by Prince Henri, lieutenant-representative of William III in Luxembourg.
Under the reign of Grand Duke Adolphe, the Grand Ducal Palace was completely transformed and a new wing, the Baden wing, was added to the courtyard. It houses the rooms of the Grand Ducal family and the guest rooms. It was built by the Brussels architect Gédéon Bordiau, assisted by the state architect Charles Arendt.
During the Second World War, the German occupiers used the Grand Ducal Palace to organize concerts and set up a tavern, the “Schlossschenke”. A complete renovation (1992-1996) restored the building to its former splendor.
The old part, between the two towers, is in Renaissance style, the middle part, in Baroque style, was remodeled in 1891 in Renaissance style.

Jules Adolphe Breton ~ French
Reproduced using various softwares including Topaz
Breton was interested in themes of social realism.
Many of his paintings, like this one, show peasants working in the fields.
The sunset, as well as the activity of gleaning, the final gathering of remnants of wheat that marks the end of the harvest, can be seen as a metaphor for the passage of time.
Breton’s inclusion of a young girl, a mature woman, and an elderly gleaner reinforce this theme.

Deux mains qui ajustent une cravate, une bouche qu'on devine prête à sourire surmontée d'une moustache et des yeux désormais à jamais clos. « Le Chibani », fresque de l'artiste Vince qui habille depuis 2016 un immeuble de Malakoff, est bien connu des automobilistes qui passent à hauteur de la porte de Châtillon, sur le périphérique. La voilà orpheline de son modèle : Mohand Dendoune, le vieil homme qui lui a prêté ses traits, s'est éteint vendredi matin au seuil de ses 91 ans.
Two hands adjusting a tie, a mouth that we can imagine is ready to smile, topped with a mustache and eyes that are now forever closed. “Le Chibani”, a fresco by the artist Vince who has adorned a building in Malakoff since 2016, is well known to motorists who pass by the Porte de Châtillon, on the ring road. Here she is orphaned by her model: Mohand Dendoune, the old man who lent her his features, died Friday morning at the threshold of his 91 years.
Adolphe Sax
One of the most famous inhabitants of Dinant is Adolphe Sax; the inventor of the saxophone was born in this city. That Dinant is proud of this famous inventor, is evident from the fact that you see Monsieur Sax everywhere in the city; there is a street and square named after him. On the square stands - how could it be otherwise - a giant saxophone. If you visit the house of Adolphe Sax, you will be met for this museum by monsieur Sax in his own person.
Adolphe Sax
Eén van de beroemdste inwoners van Dinant is Adolphe Sax; de uitvinder van de saxofoon werd geboren in deze stad. Dat Dinant trots is op deze vermaarde uitvinder, blijkt wel uit het feit dat je monsieur Sax overal in de stad tegenkomt; zo zijn er een straat en plein naar hem vernoemd. Op het plein staat - hoe kan het ook anders - een reusachtige saxofoon. Bezoek je het huis van Adolphe Sax, dan word je voor dit museum opgewacht door monsieur Sax in hoogst eigen persoon.
Leffe: voortreffelijk ambachtelijk streekbier
Leffe blond en Leffe donker, beide oorspronkelijke trappistenbieren uit de Abdij van Leffe, vinden hun oorsprong in Dinant. Meer informatie over het bier vind je in het Maison du Leffe. Bier wordt er in de Abdij al lang niet meer gebrouwen, maar je kunt tijdens een bezoek wel alles te weten komen over het ontstaan van het beroemde bier. Ook ontdek je veel over het leven van de monniken en het huidige Leffe. Natuurlijk kun je als afsluiting van je bezoek proeven van het smaakvolle bier!
The Shepherdess, is a painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau completed in 1889. This painting is always intriguing when I visit the Philbrook Art Museum in Tulsa. The tones colors and presentation of this work is always captivating. Looking at her eyes, I can only imagine the strokes of the brush catching the light of 1889 as William looked into the eyes of The Shepherdess and she looked at the painter. Now that I live next to Tulsa I can go over and capture this masterpiece anytime.
The Adolphe was a sailing ship that was wrecked at the mouth of the Hunter River in New South Wales, Australia, in 1904. The ship is now the most prominent of several wrecks on what is now the Stockton breakwall, which protects Newcastle harbour. The rescue of the ship's crew has gone down in local maritime history as one of the most remarkable in local waters.
