Peace and War were placed in the great gallery of the museum at Amiens, where Puvis completed their effect by painting four panelsa StandardBearer, Woman Weeping over the Ruins of her Home, a Reaper, and a Woman Spinning.
These works were so much admired that further decorations were ordered for the same building, and the artist presented to the city of Amiens Labor and Repose, for which the municipality could not afford to pay.
In the reception-room he painted two panels, Winter and Summer ; the mural paintings on the staircase, which had previously been placed in the hands of Baudry and of Delaunay, are devoted to the glory of the attributes of the city of Paris.

Pigalle pan-roasts salmon to perfection, the moist filet glistening a shade past translucence; it's set off superbly by the acidity of roasted tomato and the pungence of pancetta in a dilled vinaigrette that adds rich complexity to the dish.
Pigalle's take on seafood stew outpoints many local competitors in the cioppino-bouillabaisse line, barely daubing a heap of mussels, clams, calimari, salmon and halibut with a roasted-tomato broth laced with saffron and thyme.

This is placed under seafood restaurants,and just b/c you have some seafood on the menu, you are not necessarily a seafood restaurant.
The staff was friendly and helpful without being "yer buddy", the food was delightful, and the final bill was a very pleasant surprise.
The food is good, don't get me wrong -- in fact, the chef's curries (of all things) are fantastic -- but this place's view and decor are just gorgeous.

When photographing this newly remodeled nightclub in the Place Pigalle section of Montmartre, Eugène Atget deviated from his usual subject matter, Paris's historic architecture.
Although this structure is new, the Place Pigalle had been a center of bawdy nightlife since at least the 1870s, when artists and writers frequented its bohemian cafes and music halls.
Despite the Place Pigalle's colorful history, Atget seems not to have photographed here until 1925, when he made this picture.

 Contemporary Review: A Visionary In The Place Pigalle. - Review - book review
IT is a pity that only those already fascinated by Moreau's art are intrepid enough to track down the Musee Gustave Moreau, 14 rue de La Rochefoucauld, in Paris.
It is land-locked in the tangle of once-prosperous lanes that twine out of the grimy bustle of the Place Pigalle, where Moreau once had an atelier, into that frenzied hub of traffic, the garden of the Trinite Church.
The house is substantial and its facade is as eclectic (in its rusticated stone, Tuscan columns that hold nothing up, and pedimented windows with false balconies) as Moreau's pictures.
