For you all, my friends! Pour vous tous, mes amis!

Until 5 July 2026, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris is hosting an exhibition dedicated to the great Impressionist painter Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), entitled: ‘Renoir and Love: The Joy of Modernity (1865–1885)’. This exhibition seeks to illustrate Renoir’s words about his work: “I am well aware that it is difficult to convince people that a painting can be truly great whilst remaining joyful. Something charming, joyful and pretty, yes, pretty! ” Here are four paintings on display: -1) “La Grenouillère” 1869 -2) “Path Rising Through Tall Grass” 1873 -3) “The Boaters at Chatou” 1879 -4) “Luncheon of the Boating Party” 1880–1881

@claude_castera J'ai eu la chance de la visiter à deux reprises. Connaissez-vous sa superbe Mise au Tombeau du XVè siècle ? (Ma 📷)

@DanielVanGeel Remarquable,en effet.

Antonio Caldara (1671-1736), "Sedecia (1732) - Ahi! come quella un tempo" Caldara composed this piece for a curious instrument, the pantaleon (named after Pantaleon Hebenstreit, who invented and played it). This instrument used metal strings struck by hammers, probably operated by a keyboard, producing a crystalline, reverberating sound. It enjoyed a brief period of popularity at the Viennese court before disappearing completely. Few scores survive. This recording uses a dulcimer, whose sound is very close to that of the pantaleon. youtu.be/u4WfaV-ulh8?si…

The Italian Ministry of Culture recently purchased at Sotheby's for €12.5 million, this work created around 1470 by Sicilian painter Antonello da Messina (1430–1479). It is a rare and precious small panel measuring 20.3 by 14.9 cm, painted on both sides: on the main side, an ‘Ecce Homo’, with Christ crowned with thorns; on the other, a Saint Jerome sketched in a rocky and desert landscape. In its press release, the Ministry described it as a priceless work of Italian heritage.
