Low Loss Headers For Sale

first reply, first indications (riddle No. 2) No. 2




Bonjour,
comme promis, voici les indices here permettront vous de progresser in search of answers to five questions related to the puzzle number 2.

A message has been posted here, but it gives no right answer to questions ... This message is signed Roustan! (sic). The Mamluk the Emperor! Now that challenges me with another riddle? Well, see this: the corresponding written French well enough ... Italian readers, but I can write perfect French ... The name of Roustan ... the reader would it of Egyptian origin? Or would it be a Republican Guard officer who, at the gates Elysian, watch over Mr. Sarkozy? We'll see ...

Mamluk, yes, but not winning so far ... Here is my response to one message received on blogging, which I take to answer include the three directions that can help you, written in bold characters :

- The painter is not a student of David because
the picture was painted several decades before the year 1800.

- The proposed title is too fanciful to even be commented ...

- What the table shows exactly
is related to what we have materially Rome and with what remains intellectually Greece.

- The table was certainly not painted to Elisa, who was not born yet, but for a person of humble origin was no prospect of his birth nor his rise to a quasi-royal status nor his final fall. This person died for being part of a ruling class, the French aristocracy, which was not.

In my personal electronic mail address, I get two messages I still suggest the names of painters, students of David. I know that a cursory look at the history of art, where endures a kind of legend that neo-classicism would begin with the painter Jacques-Louis David, can mislead you ... Or because of the Rococo painters called produced until about 1810 ... But in fact, while a movement off (sometimes it takes time), another is born and grows.

So you have to dig into the cultural history of the decades preceding the accession to power of Napoleon, Italy and France. For, do not forget, this blogging is a permanent link between two cultures. Header of this post, I put another picture of similar inspiration, and the same painter. At

a response, some clues ... (Puzzle # 2)


Hello everyone ... This is - as agreed between us - the time to give you some clues for you to pursue the search of the solution, already in the three responses that I received is not nothing I can on the right track.
In my inbox, I received two short messages that offer only names of painters, two students of Jacques-Louis David. Oh, no! Neo-classics were David and many of his students and neo-classical painting may appear in this picture, but it was not for this painting at the turn of eighteenth and nineteenth centuries ...

The third comment on this bloggue issued at the foot of the previous post (you can read it simply by opening it, clicking on the word "comment") gives no right answer. Who issued the signature " Roustan!" (sic), challenge with a riddle. In fact, Roustan was the name of a Mameluke the service of Emperor Napoleon - he recruited during the military expedition that took him to Egypt - and the soldier next to him lived from 1798 to 1814. Humm ... The comment is written in French but I know many Italians who write perfect French would be an officer ... Republican Guard which guards our current emperor is not very high Nicolas Sarkozy? We'll see ...

Mameluke, Mamluk, Mamluk , in Italian terms to indicate there are those slaves in the service of the Abbasid caliphs, employees in the administration and the Egyptian army, often winners in armed conflict ... (From ملوك, Mamluk, plural mamālīk مماليك). But if our Mameluke Roustan is not necessarily win the mystery of this puzzle.
Now, comment on its proposals, I put in my judgment - in bold - the evidence on hope:

- The artist is therefore not a student of David, indeed the picture was painted several decades before 1800 ... There is a widespread idea that the neo-classicism, but it starts with David rococo and neo-classicism exist simultaneously for decades ... It is therefore necessary to dig into the cultural history of eighteenth second, keeping in mind that this bloggue is primarily a link between Italian culture and French culture ...

- The proposed title by Roustan is too fanciful to merit comment ...

- What exactly is this picture
is related to what physically remains of the Roman and intellectually to what remains of the Greek ...

- The picture was certainly not painted for Elisa (not yet born at the time) but for a person who is not expected very humble origins or his ascension one to almost regal status, nor its end suffered for being considered as part of a social class to which it belonged: the French aristocracy ...

- On top of this post, I propose another painting by the painter himself, which incorporates the theme of our enigmatic painting.

to you ... Your
C.
