French sculptor painter printmaker Antoine-Louis Barye : New Orleans Antiques - Harris Antiques, Ltd. Barye's tiny watercolors of animals are technically intricate and often combine several media: a single work may show the use of both transparent watercolor and body color as well as pastel chalk, black ink, lead-white highlights, scratched-in lines for whiskers or fur and varnishes of various colors and densities. Around 1851 Barye produced a series of 97 decorative masks in stone for the cornice of the Pont Neuf in Paris; the expressive range and formal variety of facial representations that encompasses the Buddha, Christ and Hercules may be regarded as a virtuoso feat. Barye was a realist who dared to present romantically humanized animals as the protagonists of his sculpture. www.harrisantiques.com /Barye_Antoine-Louis.php   (2631 words)

The Hector Berlioz Website - Berlioz in London Drury Lane By April Jullien had been declared bankrupt and was imprisoned; Berlioz had until then stayed in his house at 76 Harley Street, but moved on 20 April to 26 Osnaburgh Street, Regent’s Park. However, the consequences of Jullien’s mismanagement of the artistic and financial affairs of the theatre soon became apparent.

Voyages In Time ~ Family, Friends & Places Sue Tearne writes "Joyce (Jullien) was a talented pianist and always thought that the Julliens were descended from Louis Jullien, the French musician and impresario, who was credited with introducing the Polka (dance genre) to England from the Continent in the mid-19th century. James Jullion, (father of James Thomas Jullien) was born in 1783 and it may be surmised that his father - who died in 1796 - would have tested the waters of the new toleration and possibly renewed contact with the French branch(es) of the family (supposing they had ever lost contact). Jullien himself was French but was based in England between 1838 and 1859. www.zip.com.au /~lnbdds/home/jullien.htm   (740 words)

Richard Wagner - Overture to The Apel's drama, "Christoph Columbus" Wagner then sent the score to that singular being, half-musician and half-mountebank, Louis Antoine Jullien, then conducting orchestral concerts in London and succeeding by showmanship' where others had failed by honester means. Jullien rejected the overture, which was shortsighted of him, for he toured America, that "land of barbarians," in the Fifties with an orchestra that caused ladies to faint when.it performed, with the aid of real firemen, flames, whistles and hose, and breaking glass, the "Firemen's Quadrille". And in that year—1853—a "Christopher Columbus" overture by Richard Wagner, then rapidly advancing in reputation, would have been a splendid card. www.oldandsold.com /articles06/sy24.shtml   (740 words)

classical music - andante - preview - hector berlioz In Louis’ love of travel and the sea Berlioz saw a reflection of his own lifelong, idealized passion for distant lands, inextricably interwoven with his dream of a land where art and music enjoyed unfettered cultivation, where the frustrations and miseries of Paris were not to be found. A son, Louis, was born to them in August 1834, and the picture of the young ménage living at the top of Montmartre, where their friends went to visit them, is a touching one. Jullien had all the bravado and showmanship of the charlatan, and though the opera season ran its full two months Berlioz was never paid. www.andante.com /profiles/Berlioz/berliozgrove.cfm   (740 words)

Brooklyn Museum: "Michelangelo of the Menagerie": Bronze Works by Antoine-Louis Barye After his early success, Barye’s critical fortunes were mixed: avant-garde writers praised his sculptures, which challenged the hierarchy of the genre with their monumentality and verve, while traditionalists lamented the lack of overt educational or moral value in his work. Scholars have since suggested that the violence in Barye’s scenes is evocative of the bloody napoleonic wars and the turbulence of the French political scene. At his death, the entirety of Lawrence’s collection of Barye bronzes and watercolors was auctioned in 1910 and acquired as a set by the Brooklyn Museum with funds donated as part of a special subscription. www.brooklynmuseum.org /exhibitions/2005/barye   (548 words)
