Madonna and Child 🎨 Benvenuto di Giovanni

Madonna and Child

Benvenuto di Giovanni

Italian, Siena 1436 - 1518

This resplendent and well-preserved panel portrays the Virgin handing the Christ Child a pomegranate, a symbol of the Resurrection.

The painting may once have belonged by Pope Pius II Piccolomini, whose coat of arms is said to have formerly appeared on the back of the panel. 

The acorns, clustered beneath the frame’s scroll console, may be a heraldic allusion to Pius II. 

The important tabernacle frame may be contemporary and original to the panel. The candelabra-decorated pilasters are characteristic of Sienese frames of the period. Date: ca. 1470

Medium:  Tempera on wood, gold ground

Dimensions:

Overall 27 3/4 x 18 1/8 in. (70.5 x 46 cm); painted surface 24 1/4 x 14 3/4 in. (61.6 x 37.5 cm)

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 956

Adagios

Best Relaxing Classical Music

In today’s hectic world, it is increasingly important to relax and take time out for yourself. This special collection of beautiful and serene adagios will help you do just that. The set features over two hours of soothing music, including many slow movements that are at the emotional core of timeless and best‐loved masterpieces.

You’ll be captivated by the variety of wonderful and instantly recognizable melodies heard here: the wistful spiritual from Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony, the exquisite interweaving lines of Bach’s ‘Air on a G String’, and some of Mozart’s most impressive showcases for how to really make an instrument sing in the Clarinet Concerto and ‘Elvira Madigan’ Piano Concerto. 
And evocative and atmospheric adagios – such as Grieg’s ‘Morning’ and the slow movement from Beethoven’s ‘Pastoral’ Symphony with its distinctive birdsong calls in the flute, oboe and clarinet – will transport you to another world, far away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. 
Other highlights include some of the most enchanting slow movements in the piano repertoire – such as the poignant Adagio cantabile from Beethoven’s ‘Pathétique’ Sonata and stunning concerto movements by Chopin, Ravel and Rachmaninoff – Fauré’s intense Élégie for cello, and Mahler’s tender and heart breakingly romantic Adagietto from the movie ‘Death in Venice’.

The emotional power of these adagios is brought to the fore by first‐rate orchestras such as the Staatskapelle Dresden, Philharmonia and Royal Philharmonic, under the baton of eminent conductors such as Theodore Kuchar, Herbert Blomstedt and Rudolf Barshai.
Soloists Klára Würtz and Misha Goldstein.

A Thousand Kisses Deep

💖 ♩🎶💖🎶🎵🎵💖💖🎵♩🎶 💖

A Thousand Kisses Deep	Leonard Cohen (lyrics)
The ponies run, the girls are young,	The limits of the sea:
The odds are there to beat.	I saw there were no oceans left
You win a while, and then it’s done –	For scavengers like me.
Your little winning streak.	I made it to the forward deck.
And summoned now to deal	I blessed our remnant fleet –
With your invincible defeat,	And then consented to be wrecked,
You live your life as if it’s real,	A Thousand Kisses Deep.
A Thousand Kisses Deep.	I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,	I’m back on Boogie Street.
I’m back on Boogie Street.	I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
You lose your grip, and then you slip	That you were meant to keep.
Into the Masterpiece.	And quiet is the thought of you,
And maybe I had miles to drive,	The file on you complete,
And promises to keep:	Except what we forgot to do,
You ditch it all to stay alive,	A Thousand Kisses Deep.
A Thousand Kisses Deep.	And sometimes when the night is slow,
And sometimes when the night is slow,	The wretched and the meek,
The wretched and the meek,	We gather up our hearts and go,
We gather up our hearts and go,	A Thousand Kisses Deep.
A Thousand Kisses Deep.	The ponies run, the girls are young,
Confined to sex, we pressed against	The odds are there to beat .

Poème 🍂« Feuilles d'Automne »

Poème 🍂 « Feuilles d'Automne »

Par Hamdibey dans Poèsie de Hamdibey

Poème  « feuilles d'automne »

En automne la feuille rousse devient folle
Elle guinche elle tourne, elle vole c'est drôle

La feuille éméchée elle décolle sans boussole
Pousser par l'air elle ressemble à une rousserolle

Plus de vert les feuilles optent pour d'autres couleurs
Feuille jaune morte de peur tombe se brise le cœur

Feuille pourprée, tourbillonnant fait de peur
Une autre danse se balance et se pose en douceur

Un petit vent frais soulève une feuille farfouillée
Dans l'air feuille rouge emportée défraîchie et rouillée

Feuille amochée par le vent s'agite s'écroule affolée
Triste et morose, la branche se lamente effeuillée,

Malmenée une feuille tombe d'une branche dépouillée
Elle atterrit sur un tapis d'herbe que la pluie a mouillée

Une feuille rousse gisant au sol frileuse et souillée
La nature regrette et pleure sa splendeur barbouillée

La feuille d'automne emportée par le vent se hisse
Le bruit de l'eau sous les ramures fuit et glisse

Sous la lumière de l’automne a de tièdes délices
Dame nature chagrinée vide ses derniers calices

Par Hamdibey dans Poèsie de Hamdibey

L'Automne 🍂Poem

🍂 L'Automne 🍁

C'est l'automne,
Cueille des pommes,

Les feuilles jaunissent ;
D'autres fruits mûrissent.

C'est la saison du vin,
Cherche les marrons dans les jardins,

Les oiseaux migrateurs ;
Partent de très longues heures.

Ce parterre de feuilles brisées,
Et le brouillard est presque arrivé,

L'hiver est annoncé ;
L'automne termine ses dernières journées.
