Portrait of Monsieur G. Giving his Daughter a Geography Lesson, 1812, Napoleonic era

Louis-Léopold Boilly, French

“This portrait was shown in 1812 and in 1814 at the Paris Salon, the highly publicized, state-sponsored exhibition of contemporary art. Boilly titled the painting M[onsieur] G* * * giving his daughter a geography lesson; the sitter, whose identity remains unknown, was likely a Napoleonic administrator. Historical geography was promoted as a field of study for both boys and girls in Napoleonic France, whose maps were subject to frequent revision with each new conquest. Here the sphinx and pyramid in the cartouche of the map no doubt refer to Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition of 1798–1801; the globe shows Europe and Africa. The fine detail of the Geography Lesson is indebted to Dutch domestic genre paintings of the seventeenth century, many incorporating maps and books into middle-class homes. Boilly himself had a notable collection of works by Dutch masters such as Gerard Terborch and Gabriel Metsu.”

Crescent Museum Place Office in Fort Worth, Texas was photographed for Crescent Real Estate. It was designed by GFF, who severed as Architect-of-Record in collaboration with Denver-based OZ Architecture, and was built by The Beck Group. Crescent Real Estate office interior design by DLR Group.

The Class A, 8 story, two-block development is a luxury mixed-use building in the heart of Fort Worth’s Cultural District, a vibrant and historic area that is already home to icons like the Kimbell Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.

The design reflects the architecture of the surrounding buildings in scale, proportion, form, and patterning. The lower form is a solid dark metal panel with large, punched openings, contrasted by an upper patterned glass form. The primary entrance of the office building is a large double-height lobby space accentuated by local art, a structural glazing system and an illuminated wood portal.
