Auguste Rodin was born in Paris, in the Val de Grâce quarter, on the 14th of November, 1840, of a family of humble employés. The child at first attended a day-school in the Rue Saint Jacques, then went to a boarding-school at Beauvais, kept by his uncle.

A fascinating and richly illustrated guide to the French town of Mont Saint Michel."My intention in writing this little book has been to describe Mont St. Michel, omitting nothing that will give the reader help to understand and appreciate to the full the marvel of its beauty.It should be borne in mind, however, that Mont St. Michel, which is one of the great masterpieces of French architecture, is also an historical foundation and a beacon of the Catholic faith. And so I hav...

Claude Monet sohasem kovácsolt elméleteket; sem írásban, sem pedig szóban, még azokban a ritka beszélgetésekben sem, melyeket tőle idéznek, sem a még ritkább interjúkban, melyeket nem sikerült elkerülnie. Említettük, mint keletkezett a pontatlan, kuszáit és véletlen „impresszionizmus” megjelölés, s mint volt egy festmény címe elegendő, hogy az elnevezés a Claude Monet nevéhez kapcsolódjék. S amint az „impresszionizmus” magában véve nem jelent semmit, éppúgy nem volt sohasem Monet-féle elmé...

Pour bien comprendre la portée de l'intervention et de l'influence de l'œuvre de Delacroix dans l'école française, il est nécessaire de se rappeler la situation exacte de la peinture au moment où il parut. La Révolution avait brutalement traité les maîtres du XVIIIème siècle finissant. Éprise d'un sévère idéal gréco-romain, dont déjà Vien avait donné des exemples et que David allait porter à son apogée, la génération jacobine avait considéré les peintres légers et délicieux du règne de Lou...

No art manifestation is really isolated. However new it may seem, it is always based upon the previous epochs. The true masters do not give lessons, because art cannot be taught, but they set the example. To admire them does not mean to imitate them: it means the recognition in them of the principles of originality and the comprehension of their source, so that this eternal source may be called to life in oneself, this source which springs from a sincere and sympathetic vision of the aspec...
