Among Landseer's other famous dog pictures are "Low Life and High Life," "Dignity and Impudence" and "The Sleeping Bloodhound," all in the National Gallery. Classical French School 1600-1689 Pupil of Godfrey Wals Of all the contrasts between the early and later lives of great artists, Claude Lorrain gives us the most complete. He was born to make pastry.
"Well, as I was saying, Prince Vasili is the next heir through his wife, but the count is very fond of Pierre, looked after his education, and wrote to the Emperor about him; so that in the case of his death and he is so ill that he may die at any moment, and Dr. Lorrain has come from Petersburg no one knows who will inherit his immense fortune, Pierre or Prince Vasili.
He found Madame Lorrain of Pen-Hoel in the institution of Saint-Jacques, and was witness of the resignation with which this most unfortunate of his creditors bore her misery. "God forgive you!" said the old woman, "since you give me on the borders of my grave the means of securing the happiness of my dear granddaughter; but alas! it will not clear the debts of my poor husband!"
He possesses forty-six thousand francs, which old Madame Lorrain, who died in Paris in 1829, bequeathed to him. At the elections of 1830 Vinet was made a deputy. The services he rendered the new government have now earned him the position of procureur-general. His influence is such that he will always remain a deputy.
Nevertheless, Lorrain did not gain much fame till about his fortieth year, when he was noticed by Cardinal Bentivoglio, and was given certain commissions by him. He grew in Bentivoglio's favour so much that the Cardinal introduced him to the pope.
"There is nothing so refreshing after a sleepless night as a cup of this delicious Russian tea," Lorrain was saying with an air of restrained animation as he stood sipping tea from a delicate Chinese handleless cup before a table on which tea and a cold supper were laid in the small circular room.
"I will follow you," said Cournet. A fiacre was called up. "While I am about it," said the police spy, "come in all three of you." He made Huy and Lorrain get in with Cournet, placed them on the front seat, and seated himself on the back seat by Cournet, and then shouted to the driver, "To the Prefecture!" The sergents de ville surrounded the fiacre.
Claude Lorrain, and after him Carle Vernet, are claimed by the Impressionists as precursors from the point of view of decorative landscape arrangement, and particularly of the predominance of light in which all objects are bathed.
Claude Gelee, called Lorrain, had fled when quite young from the shop of the confectioner with whom his parents had placed him.
Pierrette's eyes were closed, the brown hair smoothed upon her brow, the body swathed in a coarse cotton sheet. Before the bed, on her knees, her hair in disorder, her hands stretched out, her face on fire, the old Lorrain was crying out, "No, no, it shall not be done!" At the foot of the bed stood Monsieur Auffray and the two priests. The tapers were still burning.
