Le château de Gaillon ❤️

[amberdover]

This may have been one of my favorite places to visit. I’ve always had a fascination with castles since I was a little girl. The Château de Gaillon was originally built for the archbishops around 1200. There is a long history tied into this castle. After the French Revolution much of it was destroyed, I believe our guide told us Bonaparte took over and rebuilt it creating a prison for the “undesirables.” Things such as petty theft, the mentally ill, and orphans were brought here to live. When I heard this statement I was sad and angry at how the people were treated. We were also told that during World War II the Jews were kept here before being transported to concentration camps. I was enraged that such a beautiful place could be used for such horrible deeds.These people were treated like they were less than human. People who needed help and children without families. This place was a dream for the archbishops before the Revolution and afterwards it became a nightmare for those who entered.

Andrea Solario & Andrea del Sarto: A collection of 105 Paintings (HD) [H...

Andrea Solario & Andrea del Sarto: A collection of 105 Paintings (HD) [High Renaissance]

Andrea Solario #Andrea #Solario (#Solari)

- Born: 1460; Milan, Italy - Died: 1524; Milan, Italy - Nationality: Italian - Art Movement: High Renaissance - Painting School: Milanese school - Field: painting Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Solari ------------- Andrea Solari (also Solario) (1460–1524) was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Milanese school. He was initially named Andre del Gobbo, but more confusingly as Andrea del Bartolo[1] a name shared with two other Italian painters, the 14th Century Siennese Andrea di Bartolo, and the 15th Century Florentine Andrea di Bartolo.

His paintings can be seen in Venice, Milan, The Louvre and the Château de Gaillon (Normandie, France). One of his better-known paintings is the Virgin of the Green Cushion (c. 1507) in the Louvre (illustrated here)

The artist was back in Italy in 1515, the date of the Flight into Egypt (Poldi-Pezzoli Collection) with its harmonious and detailed landscape background. To this period belong the Procession to Calvary (Borghese Gallery, Rome); the portrait of the Chancellor Domenico Morone (Palazzo Scotti, Milan); and the Woman playing a guitar (at the National Gallery of Ancient Art, Rome).

Andrea's last work was an altarpiece representing The Assumption of the Virgin, left unfinished at his death and completed by Bernardino Campi about 1576

------------- #Andrea #del #Sarto Andrea d'Agnolo di Francesco di Luca di Paolo del Migliore

- Born: 1486; Florence, Italy - Died: 1530; Florence, Italy - Nationality: Italian - Art Movement: High Renaissance, Mannerism (Late Renaissance) - Painting School: Florentine School - Field: painting - Influenced on: Annibale Carracci Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_del_Sarto ------------- Andrea del Sarto (1486–1530) was an Italian painter from Florence, whose career flourished during the High Renaissance and early Mannerism. Though highly regarded during his lifetime as an artist senza errori ("without errors"), his renown was eclipsed after his death by that of his contemporaries, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.

Andrea del Sarto was born Andrea d'Agnolo di Francesco di Luca di Paolo del Migliore in Florence on 16 July 1486. Since his father, Agnolo, was a tailor (Italian: sarto), he became known as "del Sarto" (meaning "tailor's son").[1] Since 1677 some have attributed the surname Vannucchi with little documentation. By 1494 Andrea was apprenticed to a goldsmith, and then to a woodcarver and painter named Gian Barile, with whom he remained until 1498.[2] According to his late biographer Vasari, he then apprenticed to Piero di Cosimo, and later with Raffaellino del Garbo (Carli).

Andrea married Lucrezia (del Fede), widow of a hatter named Carlo, of Recanati, on 26 December 1512. Lucrezia appears in many of his paintings, often as a Madonna. However, Vasari describes her as "faithless, jealous, and vixenish with the apprentices."[8] She is similarly characterized in Robert Browning's poem.

Andrea died in Florence at age 43 during an outbreak of Bubonic Plague at the end of September 1530. He was buried unceremoniously by the Misericordia in the church of the Servites. In Lives of the Artists, Vasari claimed Andrea received no attention at all from his wife during his terminal illness.[8] However, it was well-known at the time that plague was highly contagious, so it has been speculated that Lucrezia was simply afraid to contract the virulent and frequently-fatal disease. If true, this well-founded caution was rewarded, as she survived her husband by 40 years

“Normandy”

On May 16, 2019, our group had the opportunity to visit Château de Gaillon in Normandy. I have waited my entire life to visit a castle, and this was the day where my dream had come true! It was beautiful and full of history. Our tour guide told us of how it was built as a place for Archbishops to come and take a “vacation” of sorts during the Renaissance years. As it overlooked the region of Normandy, it did seem to give a sense of beauty. Several kings and queens even stayed here as well!

However, we also learned that the history of it was also one of injustice and slavery. People were imprisoned here when it became a penitentiary from 1812-1827 for various crimes. Its history became more heartbreaking when we found out that it was also used as a prison for Holocaust victims during WWII. How can such a beautiful place bring so much pain? Being here was sacred, and overwhelming in a sense. The pain, torture, injustices, and deaths of people happen everywhere. Even beautiful places like at this castle. Normandy has so much hidden beauty in it. However, it is also almost as if the beauty tries to cover up its past.
