Jules Petroz was born in 1960 in Geneva. Initiated by his parents, also antiquarians, to the world of fine art and antiques, he studied History of Art at the University of Geneva. Jules has more than 30 years experience to his active, and since 1990, has been collaborating with his wife, Aicha. They deal mainly in Switzerland and in France, and their research extends to the rest of Europe, where they are always on the lookout for unique pieces. They have been supplying museums, world-renowned galleries and interior designers with rare pieces of furniture. Their interest covers antiques, from archaeological finds to contemporary pieces and modern design, as well as Haute Époque, Renaissance and the 18th Century, with a special interest in Old Master drawings, prints, paintings and ceramics. They also buy books, sculptures and old photographs. Always on the move, from one fair to another, they visit large and small galleries as well as private clients. Aicha and Jules are well-known figures in Geneva, having discovered, hidden beneath a pastel painting, what very seemingly appears to be a portrait of a late 19th-Century actress, demi-mondaine Mary Laurent, by Edouard Manet.
Jules is available for advice in investment in art and antiques.

---from Wikipedia --
Graffiti (singular graffiti or graffito, the latter only used in graffiti archeology) is writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view.[1][2] Graffiti ranges from simple written "monikers" to elaborate wall paintings, and has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire.[3]
Modern graffiti is a controversial subject. In most countries, marking or painting property without permission is considered vandalism.[4] Modern graffiti began in the New York City subway system and Philadelphia in the early 1970s and later spread to the rest of the United States and throughout the world.[5]

I love Manet and I was thankful for the chance to see this at the Rhode Island School o' Design's museum.
Apologies in advance if I end up angering real lovers of the Impressionist art by invoking the names of some of the greatest painters ever. But I am having just so much fun with the Sigma-Z 135mm F2.8 lens! The Bokeh is absolutely fantastic... has creamy dreamy quality - that doesn't look do different from the daubs on an impressionist masterpiece. So I decided to start a new series called "Bokeh Impressionism". I just focus, and the lens does the rest.
Re-creation of "Olympia", an 1863 oil painting of a courtesan and her servant, by Édouard Manet.
---
From the NY Times (Sept 11, 2023):
The 19th Century’s Most Scandalous Painting Comes to New York: “Olympia,” the brothel scene that birthed modern art, crosses the Atlantic for the first time in the Met exhibition “Manet/Degas.”
By Jason Farago
“A colossal ineptitude,” one enraged critic called it. “Her face is stupid,” another wrote. The papers declared it “shapeless,” “putrefied,” “incomprehensible.” They said it “recalls the horror of the morgue.”
And when the Parisian crowds rolled into the Salon of 1865, they too went berserk in front of Édouard Manet’s painting of a courtesan, her maid and her high-strung black cat. Spectators were sobbing, shouting, getting into scuffles; the Salon had to hire armed guards. The picture was so stark that visitors kept trying to puncture the canvas with their umbrellas. “Never,” reported one of Paris’s better literary reviews, “has a painting excited so much laughter, mockery, and catcalls as this ‘Olympia.’”
“Olympia” now belongs to the Musée d’Orsay, where she still faces down crowds — calmer ones, though just as thronging — with her indelible blank stare. (The painting has often been called “she,” as if “Olympia” only pictured one person; we’ll get to the pronoun problem in a minute.) Manet’s bored prostitute in her unmade bed, stripped of all the Venusian grandeur in which male artists once dressed the female nude, has become the very image of modernity, even if her fame still trails that Italian woman across the river at the Louvre.
She’s left the capital only three times in her life. In 2013, for her 150th birthday, “Olympia” went to Venice and got to hang next to Titian’s “Venus of Urbino,” one of Manet’s main inspirations. In 2016, the picture was shipped off to Moscow and St. Petersburg as part of an inglorious Franco-Russian diplomacy effort. (“We’re less proud of that one now,” said Christophe Leribault, the Orsay’s director.)
And on Sept. 24, “Olympia” arrives in New York, as the focal point of “Manet/Degas,” the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s momentous fall exhibition of two city boys and the modern capital they painted ...
