While waiting for the actors on Saturday and just before it got almost unbearably crowded for VDP, a very interesting slideshow of 'gastronomy themed' paintings through the ages was shown! What you see here is Frans Hals' masterpiece 'The Banquet of the Officers of the St George Militia Company in 1616'. VDP is a great fan of Frans Hals! Below is one of Gustave Courbet's still-lifes of apples and pomegranates in 1871. This little guy was enthralled by the slideshow!
En attendant les acteurs samedi, avant que la foule n'arrive, un diaporama très intéressant était projeté, sur le thème de la gastronomie en peinture au fil des temps. Ce que vous voyez ici, c'est le banquet des officiers du corps des archers de Saint Georges de Frans Hals, en 1616. VDP est une grande fan de Frans Hals ! Ci-dessous, la "nature morte aux fruits : pommes et grenades", de Gustave Courbet en 1871. Ce petit avait les yeux rivés sur les peintures !

It is an amazingly detailed still life.
What a wonderful evening...
I'd be quite pleased to attend that event! The first painting's very familiar to me.
I wish that we had Nuit Des Musees here, Ciel! Such a great idea.
I guess you could say the old master has won over another young convert. Mesmerized.
Nice shots. Must have been a wonderful evening.
We visited the Frans Hals Museum in Harlem years and years ago. The Dutch are not shy about enjoying their food.
The topic makes me think of a fresco on the wall of a certain convent in Milan.
An excellent way to spend an evening.
I think I'd not want to watch this on an empty stomach. (And I hate to admit how much food fascinates me.)
I think I would enjoy that slide show. I can think of many paintings that carried a food theme.
I myself am mesmerised by the sight and thought of gastronomic delights.. Lovely moment captured here Ciel..
You have captured the atmosphere in there perfectly.
Une bonne façon de pratiquer un régime!
voilà un thème d'exposition de tableaux qui doit être passionnant... toutes les natures mortes seraient mises en valeur !
bonne journée
Pomegranates are somewhat fascinating fruit. I don't blame the young guy for staring. ;-)
What a nice and interesting event!
I love it that the little guy was so interested in the slide show!
Fun shots. I thought those folks in the first photo were getting ready to attack something...but no....
Interessant, Ciel, ihr habt auch die "Nacht der Museen" :)
I was hooping the gastronomic themed painting were more oriented towards French pastry :-)
What a good time you are having. I seem to get overwhelmed by crowds too. MB
I am sure it was a very interesting evening.
