A Week in Paris–Part Eighteen (the Park)

Last updated on: July 9, 2024 at 10:50 pm By Ben Witherington

On our first day in Paris we went for a walking tour in the Luxembourg Garden and adjacent streets, with the plan to end up where Yuliya teaches, namely the Sorbonne. This is an enormous garden/park, and Parisians spend a good deal of time in these places– doing exercise, playing soccer, reading a novel, eating lunch etc. Here’s the fountain.. At the other end of the park there is what once was a palace. There is even a triumphal arch... Read more

A Week in Paris–Part Seventeen (the Louvre)

Last updated on: July 9, 2024 at 10:22 pm By Ben Witherington

O.K. So there was more at the Louvre that I had good pictures of, particularly the work of Delacroix and Corot. For example, here’s Delacroix’s St. Sebastien– And Corot’s A Monk Reading.. Or Corot’s The Prisoner of Chillon.. Or Delacroix’s Turk seated by a saddle… Or his Turk Smoking a Pipe Or the Crusaders entering Constantinople in 1204.. And here’s Corot’s looking at the Coliseum through the arch of Constantine… In the following pictures we are looking at the... Read more

A Week in Paris– Part Sixteen (the Louvre)

Last updated on: July 9, 2024 at 4:49 pm By Ben Witherington

Let’s start off with celestial glory, which is the name of this work by Michel Corneille… Originally a much larger version of this was in the ceiling of a church called Val-de-Grace. This beautiful picture by Camille Corot done in the 19th century is of Chartres Cathedral. This is the painting of the three graces– joy, elegance, and beauty, said to characterize the three daughters of Zeus. There are many paintings of ancient ruins, some real, some imagined. This one...

A Week in Paris–Part Fifteen (the Louvre)

Last updated on: July 9, 2024 at 3:35 pm By Ben Witherington

Certainly one of my favorite paintings based the NT Apocrypha is Joseph and the boy Jesus in the carpenter’s shop, working by candlelight. The painter is Latour…. The problem with this painting is Joseph is too old, and Jesus is too feminine and too white as well. A little better is this busy painting of the raising of Lazarus.. another huge picture too big so again I did the close up… This painting of Jesus appearing to the three Marys,... Read more

A Week in Paris– Part Fourteen (The Louvre)

Last updated on: July 9, 2024 at 3:14 pm By Ben Witherington

The Louvre, besides being one of the world’s largest museums, now divided into three major parts, and expanding. It’s well to remember it was once a huge palace for the royalty. There is little trace of it, but here is one hint. There was a zillion people there waiting to get in, but Yuliya has a special pass, so we were lucky, but once inside the major items to see were swamped, so we focused on two, before ascending to...

A Week in Paris–Part Thirteen ( Eglise Jerusalem Brothers)

Last updated on: July 9, 2024 at 11:00 am By Ben Witherington

Yuliya wanted to show us this church for several reasons– firstly, she was baptized here, and secondly, it was ecumenical in character, being both Catholic and Orthodox, as the iconography will show. Interestingly, they don’t baptize infants! Weird. The Jerusalem Brotherhood was probably an offshoot of the Knights Templars, which King Louis of France tried to get rid of (see the novel reviewed earlier on this blog– Realm of Darkness). But this group of brethren who came from Jerusalem to... Read more

A Week in Paris–Part Twelve (Lunch and the Jewish Quarter)

Last updated on: July 9, 2024 at 10:24 am By Ben Witherington

Man cannot live by art alone, and so we did some window shopping, and stop at a very famous gelateria and general dessert shop called Berthillion which was across the bridge over the Seine from the cathedrals we were visiting. The nearby coffee stand under the sycamore tree which also offered hot wine!! could not compete with the ice cream parlor… In Paris you are allowed to eat your glace, before the main meal… The gendarmes were watching… and probably...
