Hans Baldung


                                                              Adão e Eva
                                                    Galleria degli Uffizi, Firenze

Hans Baldung, também conhecido como Baldung Grien, em razão de sua preferência pela cor verde,  (Schwäbisch Gmünd, 1484 ou 1485 — Strasburg, setembro de 1545) foi um famoso pintor alemão do Renascimento.
Viveu na sua cidade natal até 1502, quando se mudou para Nuremberg, onde trabalhou no ateliê de Albrecht Dürer, tendo permanecido aí cinco anos, o que muito o influenciou nas suas obras.
Em 1509 mudou-se, novamente, para Strasburg, onde entra em contacto com os círculos intelectuais de Martinho Lutero. Porém, entre 1512 e 1517, passou a residir em Fribourg, trabalhando na sua obra-prima, o altar da catedral.
Apesar de realizar uma boa produção religiosa, a sua temática favorita era macabra, sendo a morte e o erotismo contantes em toda a sua obra. Atualmente, algumas das suas obras estão expostas no Museu do Prado em Madrid.


Hans Baldung, dit Grien (en raison de sa prédilection pour la couleur verte), est un peintre, dessinateur et graveur allemand de la Renaissance. Il est né à Weyersheim près de Strasbourg, où son père était fonctionnaire du prince-évêque,en 1484 ou 1485 et mort à Strasbourg en septembre 1545. 
Son père ayant depuis 1492 la charge de conseiller juridique de l'évêque de Strasbourg (Albert de Bavière) et sa famille habitant dans cette ville, le jeune Hans Baldung y fit son apprentissage, auprès d'un artiste demeuré inconnu. Il perfectionna son art dans l'atelier d'Albrecht Dürer à Nuremberg entre 1503 et 1507, puis passa l'essentiel de sa vie à Strasbourg, hormis un séjour à Fribourg-en-Brisgau en 1513-1516 où il réalisa entre autres le retable de la cathédrale. Plusieurs de ses tableaux allégoriques sont énigmatiques et ont fait l'objet de réattributions et de changements de titres au cours de l'histoire.

Hans Baldung, called Grien, one of the greatest upper German painters, printmakers and copperplate engravers was born in Schwäbisch-Gmünd in 1470. A short time after his birth, his parents moved to Strasbourg, where Baldung spent his time as an apprentice under a Strasbourg master. In 1503 he went to Nuremberg, where he worked as journeyman and favorite student of Albrecht Dürer. After successfully completing his time as an apprentice, Baldung returned to Strasbourg, where he received the citizenship in 1509.
During the subsequent years Hans Baldung worked in Strasbourg, Switzerland, Alsace and Freiburg in Breisgau as a painter and copperplate engraver. He produced his most important work, the large high altar of the cathedral of Freiburg between 1512 and 1516.
Alongside this high altar, about 100 further paintings by Hans Baldung survive, which show him as a master, who understands how to take completely new paths of coloration and lend the traditional motifs of his pictures idyllic, fairytale-like and sometimes demonic character. His female figures often appear as seductive allegories.
In 1553 Baldung returned to Strasbourg, where he was appointed court painter and member of the High Council. In September 1545 Baldung died in Strasbourg, a wealthy and highly acclaimed man.
Hans Baldung is one of the most important painters and printmakers and, second only to Albrecht Dürer and Hans Holbein, is one of the most productive artists of the 16th century.

Bollywood nas Olimpíadas de Inverno - Vancouver 2010



No último dia 20 de fevereiro de 2010, durante os Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de Vancouver, no Canadá, a competição de dança no gelo contou com uma dupla que dançou músicas de Bollywood. O casal estadunidense Meryl Davis e Charlie White encantaram o público e o júri dançando uma sequência de três músicas bem conhecidas de nós: Kajra Re, do filme Bunty Aur Babli, Silsila Ye Chaahat Ka e Dola Re Dola, ambas do filme Devdas. Eles não só primaram na sincronia e nos detalhes técnicos, como conquistaram a todos com seus sorrisos e leveza dos passos. Acabaram ficando em segundo lugar, dentre 23 casais.

OSCAR - 1932-33

MELHOR FILME
CAVALCADE
(Vídeo não encontrado)
(Video pas trouvé)
(Video not found)

Um panorama da vida inglesa de 1899 até 1933, sob o ponto de vista do casal Jane (Diana Wynyard) e Roberto Marryot (Clive Brook). Os eventos que influenciaram suas vidas como a morte da Rainha Victoria, o naufrágio do Titanic e a Primeira Grande Guerra.

Le film est une chronique qui retrace la vie des Maryott, une famille bourgeoise de Londres, entre 1899 et 1933, caractérisée par une éducation stricte mais une certaine unité familiale, complétée par une fidélité des domestiques. La famille est témoin de grands évènements de son temps comme la guerre des Boers, le naufrage du Titanic, la mort de la reine Victoria et évidemment la Première Guerre mondiale.

Often forgotten, but very excellent 1933 Best Picture Oscar winner that stands up amazingly well after 70 years. "Cavalcade" is the near-epic tale of two British families (one set of aristocrats led by Oscar-nominee Diane Wynyard and Clive Brook and the other a set of servants led by Una O'Connor and Herbert Mundin) and their experiences from New Year's Eve 1899 to the start of 1933. As the film opens, the country is entangled in the bloody Boer War in South Africa. Queen Victoria's death soon follows and naturally the loss hits the entire country very hard. The sinking of the Titanic also effects the richer group as they lose family members on the doomed liner. Of course World War I produces a terrible situation for the two groups' children. The film progresses through the Jazzy 1920s and then we re-visit the couples in the early-1930s as they reflect on eventful, dramatic and tragic years since the start of the century. A new hope seems possible by the end (of course history would continue to be unkind as World War II would soon become a sad reality for the English), but far from certain. Frank Lloyd (Oscar-winning for his direction) crafted a vastly interesting film that is technologically strong for the time period (the Titanic sequence in particular is something to be appreciated) and very intelligent from the start. The editing techniques are revolutionary with impressive fades throughout to show the passing of time and the cinematography still holds up strong even today. One good thing about the Academy Awards is the historical significance it gives to films like "Cavalcade". True the film is not always well-known among movie enthusiasts, but that does not mean that this is not an excellent production and one of the first truly excellent movies that Hollywood would develop for the world.
