Bouquet d'oeillets
Madeleine Lemaire, née Coll (1845-1928, French)
Madeleine was a painter, pastellist and illustrator, who specialized in elegant genre works and flowers. She exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts and The Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. George Painter stated in his book Marcel Proust she is one of the models of Proust's Madame Verdurin (In Search of Lost Time).
Born into the upper middle-class, Madeleine had spent her childhood in the presence of artists. Her aunt, famous miniaturist Mathilde Herbelin (1820-1904), was her first teacher, and Charles Chaplin later became her tutor. Her marriage to municipal civil servant Camille Lemaire in 1870 and subsequent motherhood never prevented her from working tirelessly to perfect her talent. Her relationship with Alexandre Dumas fils cemented her position within the artistic elites and marked her emancipation and her move towards a more personal output.

[I piaceri e i giorni][Marcel Proust]
Questa edizione ripropone la forma originale dell'opera, con la prefazione di Anatole France, le preziose illustrazioni di Madeleine Lemaire, artista mondana frequentata dallo stesso Proust, e gli spartiti di Reynaldo Hahn, grande amore e amico dell'autor
La caducità della bellezza, il tempo distruttore, l’incombere della morte. E poi la resurrezione del passato grazie alla memoria affettiva, la nostalgia per la simbiosi infantile con la figura materna, la gelosia che trasforma l’amore in tortura. Sono i temi che attraversano, come motivi musicali, le pagine dei Piaceri e i giorni (1896), conferendo a quest’opera composita di novelle, versi e…

In 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte would sign the decree for the construction of a temple in honor of the glory of the French army: “...it will be the most august and the most imposing of all...Reward with which the victor of kings and peoples "The founder of empires rewards his army."
A competition was called and the project of the architect Pierre-Alexandre Vignon was chosen for the construction of the Church of the Madeleine, Paris. Today considered one of the best examples of neoclassical architecture, its model was the Maison Carré (Roman era).
Neoclassicism disappears when you enter its interior, where the baroque surrounds the walls, only the coffered vaults remind us of the majestic Pantheon of Agrippa.
Its construction lasted eighty-five years due to political instability in France at the end of the 19th century 18th and early 19th. The political changes of the time caused its use to be modified several times. It was about to be a railway station. Between 1835 and 1837, Jules-Claude Ziegler painted “L'Histoire du christianisme” in the apse and between 1835 and 1857, the Paris-based Italian sculptor Marochetti carved the figure of Mary Magdalene for the altar.
One of the most important pieces of the church is the organ from 1846, the work of Aristide Gavillé-Coll.On the outside, the 52 Corinthian columns give it an imposing appearance and support the pediment, the work of the sculptor P. Lemaire, which represents The Last Judgment, which was made in 1833.

Panier de fleurs provençales (Basket of Provençal flowers)
Madeleine Lemaire, née Coll (1845-1928, French)
Madeleine was a painter, pastellist and illustrator, who specialized in elegant genre works and flowers. The dandy Robert de Montesquiou said she was The Empress of the Roses. She introduced Marcel Proust and Reynaldo Hahn to the Parisian salons of the aristocracy. She herself held a salon where she received high society in her hôtel particulier on the Rue de Monceau. Lemaire exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts and The Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. George Painter stated in his book Marcel Proust she is one of the models of Proust's Madame Verdurin (In Search of Lost Time).
Born into the upper middle-class, the daughter of General Baron Joseph Habert and niece of famous miniaturist Mathilde Herbelin (1820-1904), Madeleine had spent her childhood in the presence of artists. Her aunt was her first teacher, and Charles Chaplin (1825-1891) later became her tutor. The portraits she exhibited at the Salon from the age of nineteen showed the influence of 18th-century art. Her marriage to municipal civil servant Camille Lemaire in 1870 and subsequent motherhood never prevented her from working tirelessly to perfect her talent. Her relationship with Alexandre Dumas fils cemented her position within the artistic elites and marked her emancipation and her move towards a more personal output.
