Musée Rodin à Paris :
Monument à Victor Hugo.
Hugo est représenté assis sur les rochers de l'île de Guernesey, où il était exilé, absorbé dans sa pensée, le bras tendu comme pour calmer les flots, le corps marqué par le temps.
Il est accompagné ici par La Muse tragique.
la Chambre de Madame :
Nélie Jacquemart a choisi de revenir à l’ambiance du règne de Louis XV.
Autour d’un grand lit, elle installe des panneaux de boiserie ancienne et place quelques uns de ses plus beaux meubles.
Les murs sont tendus de soieries lyonnaises.

When I came to this spot on the Alanvale TAFE College Campus, the late Autumn sun was producing very long shadows. This shot is the first scene that I saw, and my mind immediately went to the surrealistic paintings of Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978).
There're two reasons for this: (1) De Chirico's enigmatic surrealistic works are usually set on late afternoons in empty city plazas. There is often a long looming shadow that symbolises a presence; and (2) We have a painting in the style of de Chirico at home by the Australian modernist artist Ernest Smith dating from the 1960s. I bought it specifically because it reminded me of Giorgio de Chirico.
Although he was clearly a forerunner of surrealistic art (later made more famous by Dali, Ernst and Magritte, etc.) de Chirico called his early work Metaphysical Art. Now this is what connects it to the two previous photos in this series today.
Giorgio de Chirico's most famous quote actually brings together very succinctly our theme today:
"There is much more mystery in the shadow of a man walking on a sunny day, than in all religions of the world. To become truly immortal a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere."
One more thing: If you enlarge this photograph you will find somewhere (but not too well hidden) a copy of the actual de Chirico painting, "The Disquieting Muses". The title is NOT meant to be ironic either.
Le fumoir est une pièce conçue pour les conversations de l'après-repas entre hommes devant la cheminée.
Alors que Nélie se réfugiait dans un petit salon pour raconter à ses amies ses dernières découvertes en Italie, Edouard entraînait ici les hommes pour parler d’affaires ou de voyages et pour fumer devant un bon feu qui brûle dans la cheminée.

La Salle Florentine :
Privilégie des œuvres de l’école florentine :
Variations sur un thème, une série de Vierges à l’enfant issues du même atelier, offrent au regard leurs ressemblances et leurs particularités : l’éléve, Sandro Botticelli réalise un chef-d’oeuvre de jeunesse alors que son maître, Le Pérugin, exécute une oeuvre magistrale, miraculeusement préservée.
Ces panneaux suffiraient à faire de cette pièce l’une des plus précieuses du musée.
Elle renferme également une autre oeuvre majeure avec le Saint Georges terrassant le dragon de Paolo Uccello.
Musée Jacquemart-André :
Conçu par Henri Parent, l'escalier est une construction féerique, d'une légèreté surprenante malgré la densité des matériaux qui le composent : le marbre, la pierre, le fer, le bronze. Il s'élève jusqu'à une corniche arrondie qui en prolonge les courbes.

Le Salon des Tapisseries :
Les trois tapisseries faisaient partie d’un ensemble dit des "Jeux russiens", tissé à la manufacture de Beauvais d'après les cartons de Jean-Baptiste Le Prince, un élève de Boucher. Elles représentent "La Danse", "Le Musicien" et "La Diseuse de bonne aventure".

L’Architettura è il gioco sapiente, rigoroso e magnifico, dei volumi assemblati nella luce.

Paris. We had gone there for a Master Class Cello Concert by Gautier Capuçon. To our surprise, the normally clear panes that cover the huge structure had been replaced temporarily by colored glass. This gave an exceptional ambience to the structure and made the concert all the more enjoyable. The figures in the panes are people outside the museum, reflected in the glass.
