okay, pals. here’s a summary of the reasons why i stop in my tracks in the middle of the day. 

once upon a time this dapper man called oscar wilde made his friends wear a green carnation for the premier of one of his plays and told them it had no meaning whatsoever. at the same time the flower became popular among gay* men in paris - now if oscar intended the connection is unclear (... i mean..), but the flower gained more attention through him and became one of the more or less openly gay symbols of the victorian era. (they dyed the petals of  the malmasion carnation an ‘unnatural’ green.) then there was the trial and people understandably shied away from it for some time. however, In the past 100 years the lgbt community reclaimed the meaning.

time jump: in 1967 the rolling stones released a song called ‘we love you‘ [lyrics]. then they made a promotional  short film for it showing behind the scenes footage [video] and a reenactment of the oscar wilde trials. mick jagger portaying wilde. a lot green carnations in there. (they used the wrong ones but so do most ppl nowadays) (so did i before making this post i’m a #fake)

did jagger ever wear the green carnation again? i couldn’t find any more mention of it, so not that i know of. please correct me if i’m wrong!

now, why am i telling you all this?

because harry styles imitated mick jagger on a skit for snl wearing a green carnation (the correct one!!)

thank you, you may scream at me about this now.

*the thing about historical context and modern labels etc.

Day Seventy: Entry Nineteen

So toAllday I am writing my entry with a bit of a handicap. Yesterday I took the boys I am caring for, Jarrod and William to the horseclub that is down the street from where we live. I was showing them how to pet the horses to avoid getting bitten and obviously due to the fact that they are three they aren’t the best listeners. Jarrod was petting one and that horse went in for the kill and I just managed to push his hand away in time but not in time for me to avoid getting a nasty bite myself. Luckily my first aid training is still recent in my memory and I managed to patch it up all nice. The irony is killing me. 

I have spent almost a week in Rueil Malmasion, the suberb of Paris where I live. The boys have been great. Little Jarrod has made me his designated patient/guest when we play doctor and chef. William has had me read the same two Dr. Seuss Books about 20 times in two days. All in a days work. 

Yesterday I went for a walk in the 6th to blow off some steam and I came across The Great Canadian Pub. Never have I seen the glory that is Canada in such a funny little place. It was filled with Hockey Gear, plaid, signed merch, a moose dressed like a Mountie and other such Canadian things. I got to sit and watch hockey highlights from the last season and eat a burger paired with a Moosehead lager. It felt like I was at home. 

After leaving Little Canada I went and walked around alongside the Seine. Only then did I realize in my haste to enter the Canadian bar, I had totally missed Notre Dame which was literally 50 meters away. It wasn’t like it was hidden or anything, its one thing that can be said about the French is that they aren’t exactly modest when it comes to their landmarks. I also had totally missed the Fontaine Saint Michel, a literal shrine to the Archangel Michael. Man oh man. 

This weekend I am hoping to get to the Louvre or maybe actually explore Notre Dame. I can’t wait to see the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo in person. The art of the Renaissance Era was always my favourite and I hope to spend a whole day taking it all it. (how original of me right?) 

I also have reached out to a few other au pairs from a Facebook group dedicated to us for au pairs in Paris. Hopefully I can meet up with a few of them and branch out my circle a bit. It has been hard meeting people here what with my french skills being so lacking. I have been studying every day now and hopefully in a few weeks I will have some sort of baseline. 

That is all for now 

Cheers!

Estilo Imperio

Este es otro de los estilos ubicados en el Neoclásico.

Es un estilo artístico que surge en Francia con Napoleón Bonaparte (1804-1815).Tuvo manifestaciones en la arquitectura, el interiorismo y la moda. Tiene su antecedente en el estilo Directorio y fue fundamentalmente creado por los arquitectos Charles Percier y Pierre François Léonard Fontaine.

Historia

Toma su nombre del periodo de gobierno de Napoleón en Francia, conocido como Primer Imperio Francés, y es cuando se construyen en París, las grandiosas estructuras neoclásicas como el Arco de Triunfo de París, la Columna Vendome, y la Iglesia de la Madeleine, para emular los famosos edificios de Roma imperial. 

 A pesar de su nombre, el estilo se desarrolla antes de la proclamación del Imperio en 1804, teniendo su punto de origen en las campañas militares de Italia (1797) y Egipto (1798). En Francia, al estilo Imperio le antecede el estilo Directorio y le sucede el estilo Restauración.

El estilo sobrevivió en Italia mucho más que en el resto de Europa, debido en parte, a sus asociaciones con el Imperio romano, y también porque fue establecido como estilo nacional arquitectónico después de su unificación en 1870.

Arquitectura

En los interiores existe una estricta simetría en las composiciones murales y organización de las estancias.

Diseño para un dormitorio, de Charles Percier. 

Las paredes tenderán a concebirse como unidades completas, que no es necesario compartimentar o fragmentar, y en las habitaciones menos públicas como las alcobas se les otorgará una sola aplicación decorativa: pintura, papel o tela, en color liso o con un motivo ornamental que se repite en toda la pared, pero solo uno, pues se trata de evitar el efecto de grutesco.   

Dormitorio de la Emperatriz en La Compiègne, de François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter.

La aproximación, incluso la imitación de la decoración antigua romana es patente en las habitaciones de recibir. En la Malmasion, las paredes del comedor lucen frescos dignos de la vieja Pompeya.

Biblioteca en el Palacio de la Malmaison.  Solemnidad para la habitación de estudio, simbolizada en las columnas, un adorno cada día más extraño para el interiorismo. Figuras aisladas en los frescos del techo. Mesa sobre trapezóforos.

Las grandes conquistas de Napoleón influyeron en los motivos utilizados, entre los que abundan los de inspiración militar – como medallas o trofeos -, egipcia –esfinges, leones alados y escarabajos - y clásica – como cornucopias u hojas de acanto-. También podemos encontrar abejas, ya que este animal era el símbolo del emperador, y en el caso de su mujer, cisnes (su animal favorito).

Cámara de Josefina.Cisnes velan el sueño de la emperatriz; esfinges en los trípodes. La reproducción de una tienda de campaña a la antigua, digna de Calígula, debe considerarse la apuesta más audaz de todo el palacio.

En España, este estilo se llamó “Fernandino” (ya que se desarrolló durante el reinado de Fernando VII) y en Inglaterra tomó el nombre de “Regencia”. 

Mobiliario

Se estabiliza un sistema de apoyo que llegará hasta nuestros días: patas delanteras rectas y patas traseras en sable.

La silla fundamental del estilo imperio posee respaldo rectangular y copete vuelto.

Silla imperio fundamental, con su respaldo de copete vuelto. Ésta del Gabinete de Platino en la Casita del Labrador, Aranjuez, reforma encabezada por Percier et Fontaine, y en la que trabajaron numerosos artesanos franceses.

Los sillones, por su carácter monumental, admiten más opciones, pero sin duda el más reproducido es el sillón envolvente; en este caso se decora el frente de los reprosabrazos con figuras animales y quiméricas.

La tipología de asiento más curiosa del estilo imperio es el sillón de tipo curul, reproducción de un sillón romano muy poco conocido, con soporte de tijera o de cuernos cruzados

Sillón tipo "curul", á la antigua, del Museo de Artes Decorativas de París, atribuido a Georges Jacob.

La mesa que mejor expresa el estilo imperio es la consola.

Trípode con leones alados tallados por Thomire.

Características 

Se alejan de las formas sinuosas del estilo Luis XV o ligeras del estilo Luis XVI, adoptan una apariencia rígida, maciza y formas geométricas básicas.

Los motivos son esencialmente guerreros (trofeos, lanzas, fasces...) o clásicos (esfinges, leones, águilas, ninfas...).

A veces se incorporan motivos exóticos del Antiguo Egipto.

Se recuperan los colores intensos y saturados perdidos durante el siglo XVIII, que prefirió el blanco o los tonos pastel.

Los muebles se hacen en madera vista, sin pintar, como la caoba o el nogal.

Ausencia de marquetería.

Predominio de elaboradas incrustaciones de bronce.

Muebles nuevos: lit en bateau, psyché o sillas en "pied en sabre

Materiales

El material único en el mueble es la caoba con adornos de bronce dorado.

Joyero de la emperatriz Josefina

Ornamentación

Se decoran especialmente las patas, para las cuales se encuentran dos posibilidades: motivos quiméricos y animales (cisnes, en especial; cariátides) o liras (simbólicas de Apolo). La marquetería se reserva a los sobres de mesas y batientes de armarios. La talla se encuentra casi exclusivamente en los adornos dorados metálicos.

Mesa o consola doble sobre cariátides, atribuida a Pierre-Philippe Thomire

Ejemplos

Athénienne de Napoleón (h. 1800-1804), de Martin-Guillaume Biennais.

El trono de Napoleón en las Tullerías

Trono de Napoléon en el Senado, de François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter.

Reloj de mesa
