Well it's really almost a cliché - Paris as a city of love. And a city of art.

Indeed French capital has been a background for numerous love stories and romances also among great artists. In our 3rd episode we're confronting two inspiring art couples that were shining in Paris, especially in the first half of 20th century - meet Gertrude Stein & Alice B. Toklas and Sophie Taeuber-Arp & Jean Arp. May love and avant-garde be with you!

Galerie Vivienne is one of the most beautiful covered passages in Paris. Most of the shops are quite expensive, but you can find an old book store that we love, which is *very* afordable. And if not for shopping, it is just a nice cozy walk on a rainy day.

Other than fashion, not much has changed in the city of Paris ;)

Jean Béraud (French: [beʁo]; January 12, 1849 – October 4, 1935) was a French painter, noted for his paintings of Parisian life during the Belle Époque. He was renowned in Paris society due to his numerous paintings depicting the life of Paris, and the nightlife of Paris society. He also painted religious subjects in a contemporary setting. Pictures of the Champs Elysees, cafeés, Montmartre and the banks of the Seine are precisely detailed illustrations of everyday Parisian era of the "Belle Époque".

*****

Jean Béraud, né le 12 janvier 18491 à Saint-Pétersbourg et mort à Paris le 4 octobre 1935, est un peintre de genre et portraitiste français.

Jean Béraud voit le jour à Saint-Pétersbourg avec sa jumelle Mélanie lorsque Jean Béraud son père, sculpteur, travaille probablement au chantier de la cathédrale de Saint-Isaac. Après la mort de son père, en 1853, sa mère Geneviève Eugénie Jacquin rentre à Paris avec ses quatre enfants2.

Il suit des études au Lycée Bonaparte, puis devient l'élève de Léon Bonnat à l'École des beaux-arts de Paris et débute au Salon de 1872. C'est en 1876 qu'il connaît le succès avec son tableau Le Retour de l'enterrement.

Il devient un des principaux peintres de la vie parisienne. Il peint avec acuité, et parfois avec ironie, le milieu feutré de la bourgeoisie, les petits métiers, l'ambiance des cafés, les scènes de la vie quotidienne des rues de Paris. Il est l'auteur environ 200 portraits. Il est un des fondateurs de la Société nationale des beaux-arts, avec Rodin, Joseph Meissonnier et Puvis de Chavannes, en 1890. Il en devient le vice-président

En 1887, il est nommé chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, puis il est promu officier de la Légion d'honneur en 1894.

Il est l'un des témoins de Marcel Proust lors de son duel, à Meudon, avec Jean Lorrain, en février 1897 au sujet d'un article jugé injurieux sur Les Plaisirs et les Jours3.

Sa sépulture se trouve au cimetière Montmartre (division 1) à Paris.

Pretty incredible story...

"Believe it or not, in 1976 Pharaoh Ramses II was issued an Egyptian passport for passage to France nearly three millennia after his death."

Ramses II, despite being a 3,000-year-old Pharaoh of Egypt had to submit to modern laws and get a passport for a trip to Paris.

I've met Oliver few years back when he invited me to his walkshow. It was a great experience, although I remember being extremely stressed, as it was the first event I ever participated that went LIVE! So maybe don't watch mine ;)

But I am so happy to get to know him and his work, he gets just the best ideas for his virtual podcasts. Yesterday night he invited Ernest Hemingway (yes, this Hemingway) to have a walkshow with him. What a blast! Check it out, and if you don't follow The Earful Tower yet, I suggest you do!

As I had a chance to participate myself, I know how hard it might be, so I really admire both men on the excellent job they've made here.

It was truly magic.

"A condensed pill of facts about the epidemics throughout history that became especially visible in art. This dish consists of a pinch of history of medicine with a good dose of art.
The tragedies of plagues such as Black Death and AIDS marked art history in remarkable ways. A coronavirus pandemic seems to be the very best moment to learn more how humanity was dealing with other epidemics. "
