#Byzance

[philoursmars]

Je reviens à mon projet de présenter la plupart de mes 55000 photos (nouveau compte approximatif. On se rapproche du présent !).

2016. Une petite virée à Bruxelles avec Julien. C’était surtout pour visiter une expo sur l’Anatolie au Palais des Beaux-Arts:

- bas-relief seldjoukide - Konya, XIIIe s.

- bas-relief seldjoukide, avec l’Arbre de Vie - Konya, XIIIe s

- balustrade méso-byzantine avec l’Arbre de Vie et  des griffons

- Mir'at ül-Kevneyn, carte ottomane de l'univers

- carreau seldjoukide - Beyşehir

- pectoral ourartéen, Arbre de Vie entre 2 lions - VIIe s. av.J-C

Théodora: Véritable Héroïne?

L'impératrice Théodora I, l'épouse de l'empereur Justinien de Byzance (527-565), était-elle une héroïne ? L'historien Treadgold la qualifie de protectrice des femmes, car elle usa de son influence pour les aider à obtenir des droits. La légende populaire la considère également comme une protectrice et une défenseuse des pauvres et des faibles. Étant donné qu'elle était une proche collaboratrice, certains disent même une corégente, de son mari, il est très probable qu'elle ait pu influencer la politique et même les lois qui permirent d'atteindre ces objectifs. Cela fait-il d'elle une héroïne ? La réponse à cette question dépend de la définition que l'on donne au mot héroïne et aussi de la personne à qui l'on pose la question.

The Battle of Cats And Mice

In the twelfth century, the classical scholar Theodoros Prodromos wrote the faux- epic Katomyomachia, or The Battle of Cats and Mice. This is a cento, meaning it consists of lines lifted from Homer and the ancient tragedians, cut and pasted to recount an epic battle between the two rival species. Heroic mice satirize the ruling warrior class of the Komnenoi.

From Anthony Kaldellis’ A Cabinet of Byzantine Curiosities

According to Herodotus, Homer, the most respected of the poets entrusted to educate the children of (the Isle of) Chios composed the Batrachomyomachia (Frog-Mouse War), the Epicichlids and other poems full of jokes. In doing so he made the children of Chios, and also those who joined them, useful to the extent that they, who were supposed to acquire their first knowledge, liked to listen to these chants, which were not too demanding even for children's ears. One of the later writers wanted to imitate the poet, so he invented a battle between a cat and mice and made a comedy out of it in iambic meter.

From the Introduction to the First Edition of 1494 by Aristobulus Apostolios (1465-1535)

Mais dans l’Histoire comme dans la vie des hommes le regret ne répare pas la perte d’un instant, et mille années ne rachètent pas une heure de négligence.

Bejeweled gaze. Embracing the byzance feeling, the baroque spirit that inspired Chanel in creating unique jewelry… Riempire lo sguardo con la meraviglia dell’arte bizantina, con lo splendore dorato dell’audace abbondanza barocca. Lo Studio Maquillage Chanel riporta al centro dell’attenzione la grande passione di Gabrielle per l’arte con l’ultima collezione makeup in edizione limitata Les 4 Ombres Byzance. Il nuovo quad occhi è declinato in quattro Parure: Baroque, Imperiale, Venitienne e Cristal. Nell’esclusivo astuccio realizzato con finitura oro martellato la palette cromatica riprende le tonalità sature delle pietre preziose presenti nei sontuosi bijoux creati da Mademoiselle. Sfarzosa la combinazione della Parure Imperiale dominata da un profondo porpora granato e resa lucente dal giallo zaffiro e dai riflessi perlescenti dell’oro rosa. Un affascinante opulento gioco di contrasti, tra colori e luce!

Nota a margine: nel 1920 Gabrielle scopre Venezia. È un momento particolare della sua vita. La perdita improvvisa di Boy Capel vela di tristezza infinita le sue giornate. L’amica Misia Sert la conduce a Venezia e come d’incanto Coco subisce il fascino di una città in equilibrio tra le culture d’Oriente e Occidente, si appassiona ai grandi pittori veneziani, ai mosaici policromi, ai tesori d’arte bizantina e barocca, ai riflessi dell’oro e delle pietre preziose che ornano la Basilica di San Marco, fonte di ispirazione per la sua prima collezione di gioielli. Un luogo unico e speciale che segna una mutazione in Gabrielle, le infonde un nuovo vigore espressivo, una creatività matura e consapevole. ©thebeautycove @igbeautycove

Ludovic Richard - Tu me manques -

Comment ça va là-haut ?Fais-tu toujours le con ?Tu joues les funambules ?Moi aussi…De temps en temps,Je m’en vais faire un tour sur les rebords du ciel,Caresser des étoilesEt me sentir moins vieux,Moins creux…Putain c’que tu me manques !Je repense à nos yeux,À ceux que l’on avait ;Ceux d’avant le désastre !…Ceux d’avant que les tiens aillent flatter les astres…Et que portent,Les miens,Le poids de…

Now I have given you the following omaia in exchange for Maron, which I had previously given to you with all its appurtenances or cottages, on the condition that for all these you shall do the same service to me as my heirs and your heirs, which you were obliged to do for Maron before, with the exception of the assizes, which are in the tower of Maroni.

I grant you a certain house near the New Castle, which you bought from Johanne Bogalet, the scribe of El Bisautia, to whom the house itself was previously owned. I give and grant to you and to your heirs John Drugemannus of Castello Novi with all his estates, things and possessions which he inherited from me.

21t therefore the page of this donation or grant of mine, granted to you and to your heirs, is to be sealed in perpetuity, and I commanded that the undissolved charter be protected by the witnesses undersigned with my seal.
