Joaquín Sorolla

Image
            Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (Valencia, 27 February 1863 - Madrid, 10 August 1923) was a Spanish painter who specialized in painting portraits, landscapes and works with social and historical themes. His most famous works mainly contain images of people, navies and the landscape of his native country. The early work of Sorolla is counted among realism and mainly concerns social and historical themes. Later he worked mainly in the style of Impressionism, mainly painted portraits and landscapes from his native country, and mostly worked 'en plein air'. Sorolla frequently traveled, often stayed in Paris, exhibited with great success in the Paris salon and the Exposition Universelle (1900), but also several times in the United States. A series of fourteen paintings with Spanish people and subjects, which he made for the library of the 'Hispanic Society of America' in New York, was known. Kind regards Pierre

The LONDON FOG

Image
               The FOG, Claude Monet once remarked: "London would not be a beautiful city, it is the fog that gives it its beautiful breadth." While working on his London series, he got up early every day to visit the Waterloo Bridge in the morning. to paint, to go to Charing Cross Bridge in the afternoon and in the afternoon. He observed both motifs from his window on the fifth floor in the Savoy Hotel. The two Waterloo Bridge paintings of the Kunstinstituut date from 1900 and 1903, but both probably started in 1900 and only started when Monet felt they were done. He worked on all of his paintings in London in his studio in Giverny, and refused to send them to his dealer until he was satisfied with them as an ensemble. Kind regards

Bought a $450 Million

So You Just Bought   $450 Million a Leonardo da Vinci Painting. Now What? A woman takes in the vast and unsettling implications of the  Salvator Mundi  at Christie's. (TOLGA AKMEN/AFP/Getty Images) It’s not hard to imagine a feature film based on  the $450 million sale  of  Leonardo da Vinci ‘s  Salvator Mundi  (c. 1500). In the movie version of the event, as soon as the hammer comes down, the auction house sends out decoy trucks and spreads disinformation on the dark web to thwart potential gangsters waiting to seize the work for their mobbed-up bosses. The reality is far more mundane—but no less complex. (Don’t worry, it still involves decoy trucks.) There are numerous practical matters to consider, like packing, shipping, insurance, and tax liability. So, as soon the winning bid comes in, a host of legal and logistical procedures are set in motion. With more and more works commanding eight- and nine-figure prices at auction—including  a $110 million Basquiat  th

Elton John and his band in Monaco 50 Years of Career Merits a Celebration! CONCERT 06 December 2017 20:00 Elton John is one of the masters of pop, winning accolades and putting out one hit after another (“Your Song”, “I’m Still Standing”, “Don’t go Breaking my Heart”, “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word”) and sold-out world tours. He has performed and sung with the greatest names in music, including John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Céline Dion, George Michael, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Queen, Sting, etc., and he remains a reference and inspiration for a whole new generation of artists. In his latest album “Wonderful Crazy Night”, Elton John returns to basics and brings back the pop of his early days: both catchy and effective. He has performed and sung with the greatest names including John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Céline Dion, George Michael, Rolling Stones, Who, Queen, Sting … and remains a reference and inspiration for a whole new generation of

Monaco’s Luxury

     Shortage of New Homes Sends Monaco’s Luxury Prices Soaring Photo: courtesy of Monaco Yacht Show A new report finds them clocking in at €53,000 per square                meter. Luxury residential real estate values in Monaco reached €53,000 (US$61,832) per square meter in the second quarter of 2017, according to a new report by Knight Frank. The tiny, independent region on the French Riviera has led Knight Frank’s annual global comparison of residential values since 2008, the report said, and was followed by Hong Kong, New York and London. “Monaco remains at the top of global wish lists,” said Kate Everett-Allen, head of international residential research at Knight Frank, “with no other city in the world boasting the same wealth density.” Prices are being supported by a lack of new development. Not one residential unit was completed in the Principality in 2016, according to the report released Monday, likely to put further pressure on price
