The most celebrated artists of the Renaissance made cartoons: Raphael, Giulio Romano, Jouvenet, Le Brun, and numerous others, in various countries. The Gobelins work in Paris was inaugurated in the fifteenth century under Jean Gobelins, a native of Rheims.
Mademoiselle Brun wandered from shop to shop, gathering a hundred rumours but no information. "The emperor is dying Macmahon is wounded," a butcher told her, as he mechanically sharpened his knife at her approach, though he had not as much as a bone in his shop to sell her. She stopped a cuirassier riding a lame horse, his own leg hastily bandaged with a piece of coloured calico.
Clavering having reckoned up the marks, Mademoiselle Le Brun having given her testimony, Fraulein having given hers, and the English teachers having further testified to the industry of the pupils, the girls of the Upper school were to pass muster before Sir John, who was to decide without prejudice in favor of the lucky three who alone were to compete for the great Scholarship in October.
Le Brun, who wrote of this period and these friends: "They made me feel again the sentiments of a mother, and their tender devotion diffused a great charm over my life. It is near these two dear ones and some friends who remain to me that I hope to terminate peacefully a life which has been wandering but calm, laborious but honorable."
So, as he was riding in a chariot armed with scythes, he told Brun, who was treacherously acting as charioteer, to find out in what manner Ring had his line drawn up. Brun's face relaxed into something of a smile, and he answered that he was fighting with a line in the form of a wedge.
That he was not a docile, though a very devoted pupil, is indicated by his reply to Moser, the keeper, who came to him, as he was looking over prints from his beloved Raffaelle and Michel Angelo, and said, "You should not study these old, hard, stiff, and dry, unfinished works of Art: stay a little, and I will show you what you should study." He brought down Le Brun and Rubens.
For patriotism, like courage, is infectious; and it is a poor heart that hurries to abandon a sinking ship. It thus came about that, soon after sunset, Mademoiselle Brun and Denise hurried down to the cross-roads to intercept the carriage, of which they could perceive the lights slowly approaching across the dark valley of Vasselot.
His country-seat, at Vaux, cost him eighteen millions of livres. Three villages were bought and razed to enlarge the grounds. Le Vau built the château. Le Brun painted the ceilings and panels. La Fontaine and Michel Gervaise furnished French and Latin mottoes for the allegorical designs. Le Nôtre laid out the gardens in the style which may still be seen at Versailles.
His manner conveyed, better than any words, that she need feel no uneasiness on his account, and could treat him literally at his word, as a friend. "In order to tell you, with all reserve, the good news," he continued. "With all reserve!" echoed Mademoiselle Brun. "Good news in a French newspaper, Mademoiselle " And he finished with a gesture eloquent of the deepest distrust.
They would do nothing until he came, for Sunday was his day, the only day they really had him. He hurried out and jumped onto a tram. As he leaped over the ditch into the field at the tramway terminus, he caught sight of Brun a little farther along the path. The old librarian was toiling up the hill, his asthma making him pause every now and then.
