Why Do Gsd Have Weak Legs

risoluzione dell'enigma number 1

The correct answer to the second question came, comes from the same commentator Being ... un'indagatrice very good (well! a blog is also made to give people the chance to know!), I discovered her identity through a network of contacts that we share (net so far - alas - has not produced many players in my bloggue!). This
Young Hercules (practice makes boxing), in addition to the noble art (so called in France of boxing in the past centuries, and was considered a noble art just as the worship, the riding, painting ...) sometimes it takes time to inquire about the painting and the neo-classical opera, ironically reversing every possible injury.

To be fair, I have found, in my personal mailbox, other answers, some correct (not much) more ... unfortunate. I thought of being surrounded by light (I mean that I believed in illuminatissimi scholars) but in fact I find myself in the dark!
Well, do not we talk anymore! We will see with the next puzzle, somewhat more difficult ... Anyway, enough complaining: I confess that my situation is not always desperate, I enjoyed reading some of the world answers. To punish the excessive caution of all those who wanted to respond privately - although their conclusions were absolutely right - I translate and publish the response by Christophe, received yesterday (Wednesday, 25 June) at 20:38 in point:

"The reference to Zaire, of course, is tricky, but interesting in that it facilitates the discovery of the person portrayed Giuseppina Grassini .... And the work is called Giuseppina Grassini Role of Zaire, painted in 1804 (1805 according to some sources ...) ".

Lovely, no? The answer is more interesting because it alludes to the controversial issue of the dating of the painting, and indirectly to the problem of dating opera Zaire, a point on which I had already planned to write something.

E 'got a second opinion ... but I do not comment (a tender kiss, though).

Next time ... I will write on what topic? Before returning to my Elisa (which is still asleep in the shady valleys of oblivion), I have shed some light on the obscure clarity of the picture of Grassini. I am in fact in the situation of the storyteller East: I have proposed a riddle, and now, for mere duty of the owner of this blog, I've got to tell the story, and stories within the story, and perhaps the stories inside stories inside the story . Where principierò? How to find the key to the problem (it is not appropriate to say)?

The image that illustrates this post? Harlequin is crowned the bust of Voltaire March 30, 1778, and is a clear mockery of the event (see below French version). Under the plan, two verses: "It 's nice to get / When from Harlequin." This is the crown degree, of course ... and is, in the context of time, a harsh critique of a philosopher "enemy of tyranny", but, in the theater, accepts the homage of facto ambiguous aristocracy (it was present in the room the Count d'Artois, young brother of King Louis 16imo. The author of the incision (probably done at the behest of an enemy of the philosopher) remained anonymous, probably do not have to suffer the consequences of his pungent irony (Friends of Voltaire were very powerful). Printed in multiple copies, is also a document on the conflict for nearly two hundred years opposed the Comédiens Italiens (Italian actor) to Comédiens Français (French actors) in the Paris of the 'Ancien Régime . We are in 1778, and soon this war will end in the mask trick against the roar of the Revolution ...

In my next post, I will publish another incision on the same subject. (Do not rely too much of my "next time" already, in the time running from my promise to its implementation can gather other ideas ...). The coronation
symbolize my praise to Christophe? Do not exaggerate! Promises to be my next effort (!) On the Zaire of Voltaire. Allotment in 1732 but I do not forget the Vigée-Lebrun and even the Grassini ... or Elisa ... Do I have to start from something. And I always cross streets appeared happier colors. Your

Postscript 1: you have certainly noticed the dark clarity ...? It 'an expression well known to French speakers who have studied at college texts Pierre de Corneille, playwright of the seventeenth century. It is part of the work entitled to an Le Cid (Act 4, Scene 3, at 1273). See the sections lined up on the left, middle-bibliography dedicated to the Cid as a character in English history of the Middle Ages, Pierre Corneille de Cid and his staff in the original French and in translation of Eugenio Montale . As soon as I can, I will quote the passage in the translation of Montale, hoping to get (and share with you) inspired by the vision of an obscure clarity that comes down from the stars.

Postscript 2: the image below which shows the French version? represents the Coronation of the bust of Voltaire, at the end of the Sixth representation of ' Irène (and not of Zaire as one hears or reads) the scene of the theater of the Comédie Française, March 30, 1778 (Irène is another bloody tragedy of Voltaire.) Engraved in 1792 (during the funeral that the Revolution made a time) and Charles-Etienne Gaucher , taken from a drawing by JM Moreau (called "the Younger") executed in March 1778.
