The sculpture called “Cato of Utica Reading the phaedo Before Killing Himself”. It was getting a bath at the Louvre, Paris. This is a white carrara marble sculpture started by Jean-Baptiste Roman. It was commissioned in 1832 for the Louvre. It would be completed by Francois Rude in 1840 after the death of his friend.

This sculpture depicts Cato The Younger who was a statesman of the Roman Republic at the point where he is about to take his own life while reading the Phaedo, a dialogue of Plato which details the death of Socrates.. On hearing of his death Plutarch wrote that Caesar commented: “Cato, I grudge you your death, as you would have grudged me the preservation of your life.” (at Musée du Louvre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVcg6atZEE/?utm_medium=tumblr

An odd trip to Versailles NOT to visit the Palace but to see an exhibition in the building the Hôtel des Affairs étrangères et de la Marine (foreign affairs and the navy). It was built by Jean-Baptist Berthier at the time Louis XV was the king of France. (1762) Looking up as you enter it was impressive and then greeted by a portrait bust of Louis XV. It was in this building that the Treaty of Versailles was negotiated and signed in 1783. This would help put an end to the American War of Independence. . . .

Sai dia 26. Está em pré-venda, com desconto, na FNAC, Almedina, Bertrand e WOOK. Artur Pastor (1922-1999) foi um dos mais notáveis fotógrafos portugueses do século XX e o seu acervo, composto por muitos milhares de negativos, é o mais importante repositório de imagens do Portugal rural dos anos 1940-1990.Além da qualidade artística das imagens, o Fundo Artur Pastor reveste-se de uma importância crucial do ponto de vista histórico, documental, sociológico e etnográfico, já que, na qualidade de técnico ao serviço do Ministério da Agricultura, Artur Pastor percorreu o país de norte a sul, litoral e interior, pelo que o conjunto da sua obra, ao invés de ser cingir a um ponto específico do território, cobre todo o Portugal continental, num retrato absolutamente único do país e do seu povo. A Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos, em parceria com a Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, promove a publicação do grande catálogo da exposição «Artur Pastor», uma obra de referência feita em edição de prestígio e elevada qualidade, com mais de 200 imagens e textos de diversos autores.
