Inspired by Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac's 1657 prose on a voyage to the moon, here is a delightful exhibit in Diana's room. Can you see the shadow projected on the door on the right? The bust in the middle of the photo is of Louis XIV and was sculpted by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.Inspiré de "l'autre monde ou les Estats et Empires de la lune" de Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, écrit en 1657, voici les aériennes silhouettes et jeux d'ombres du salon de Diane. Vous voyez l'ombre projetée à droite ? Le buste de Louis XIV est une œuvre superbe du Bernin.
c'est superbe, et belle lumière sur le roi soleil (ce qui parait logique ;o))
ReplyDelete*sigh* You make me want to be there!

Stunning Ciel !
ReplyDeleteOh I like this exhibit!
ReplyDeleteLove that sweet moon silhouette, inspired by Cyrano de Bergerac!, and that you casually threw in a Bernini sculpture. So many delicious things going on here :)
ReplyDeleteOur opera company produced John Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles a few years ago. It's brilliant and would do well to be staged right here.
ReplyDeleteI love the atmosphere of this photo. The light is sort of spooky, but in a good way!! :)
