À première vue, rien de particulièrement extraordinaire dans Intérieur d'une cuisine. Cette peinture de Martin Drölling, réalisée en 1815 et aujourd'hui conservée au musée du Louvre, représente une scène domestique paisible : une cuisine, quelques personnages, des ustensiles et des meubles.Pourtant, derrière cette scène parfaitement banale se cache une histoire macabre. Une partie des pigments bruns utilisés par Drölling pourrait avoir été fabriquée à partir de… cœurs humains momifiés. Et pas n'importe lesquels : ceux de membres de la famille royale française.Pour comprendre cette histoire, il faut revenir à la Révolution française. À partir de 1793, plusieurs tombeaux et reliquaires royaux sont profanés. Or, selon une tradition ancienne, les corps des souverains pouvaient être enterrés séparément de leur cœur. Certains de ces cœurs embaumés furent donc récupérés et circulèrent ensuite entre différentes mains.À cette époque, les peintres connaissent déjà un étrange pigment appelé « brun de momie » ou « mummie ». Pendant plusieurs siècles, des marchands européens ont effectivement vendu une matière brunâtre contenant parfois des restes de momies égyptiennes réduites en poudre. Mélangée à l'huile, elle permettait notamment d'obtenir certains bruns et glacis.Le peintre Martin Drölling aurait ainsi acquis plusieurs cœurs momifiés provenant de membres de la famille royale, notamment ceux d'Anne d'Autriche et de Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche. Il les aurait utilisés pour fabriquer une matière picturale employée dans certaines de ses œuvres.C'est ici qu'Intérieur d'une cuisine devient particulièrement intrigant. Selon une tradition historique, certains de ses tons bruns contiendraient cette fameuse « mummie » royale.Mais il faut être précis : cela reste, pour ce tableau particulier, une hypothèse. Le Louvre confirme que l'œuvre est une huile sur toile peinte par Drölling en 1815, mais sa notice ne mentionne pas la présence de restes humains. Et aucune analyse scientifique du tableau n'a encore permis de confirmer que ses pigments contiennent effectivement des tissus provenant de cœurs royaux.En revanche, l'histoire n'est pas totalement fantaisiste. Des chercheurs ont étudié une autre peinture, Vue de Caen, d'Alexandre Pau de Saint-Martin, un autre artiste associé à cette pratique. Des analyses ont permis d'y retrouver des éléments compatibles avec l'utilisation de tissus cardiaques.Voilà donc ce qui rend Intérieur d'une cuisine si singulier : derrière une scène quotidienne presque insignifiante pourrait littéralement se cacher une partie de la monarchie française.Un tableau dans lequel l'Histoire ne serait pas seulement représentée : elle serait présente dans la peinture elle-même.

Entre o Museu do Louvre e a Torre Eiffel, uma cena improvável chama a atenção dos parisienses: rodas de altinha ocupam os jardins da capital francesa. Mas o fenômeno não se limita à França: o esporte também inspirou novos negócios na Holanda e já conquistou parques e praças em diferentes países da Europa.  Ao atravessar o Arco do Triunfo do Carrossel, logo após a pirâmide do Louvre, em direção ao Jardim de Tuilleries, é possível avistar algumas bolas amarelas pairando sobre os gramados.  Quem já frequentou uma praia brasileira pode se surpreender com a cena. O calor quase manipula os sentidos, nos faz duvidar de onde estamos. Não estamos no Rio de Janeiro. Ao fundo, a Torre Eiffel nos traz de volta à realidade.  Jogar altinha em Paris virou febre graças a Isadora e Clarisse, duas amigas franco-brasileiras que se mudaram para a capital francesa para estudar. Depois de anos praticando o esporte – considerado patrimônio imaterial da cidade do Rio de Janeiro –, Clarisse explica que decidiram recriar na cidade a atmosfera das rodas que frequentavam nas praias cariocas.  “Faltava isso aqui. Pensávamos: ‘Como vamos ficar anos sem jogar? Vamos desaprender.' [...] Não é só sobre jogar, é sobre tudo que engloba o jogar, você se conectar com as pessoas”, afirmou Clarisse.   Pelo gramado, as conversas misturam português e francês. Entre os jogadores está Antonio, que, assim como Isadora e Clarisse, estudou em uma escola francesa no Rio de Janeiro e hoje mora em Paris.  Para ele, jogar altinha é uma forma de matar a saudade de casa. "Eu sinto como se eu estivesse de volta no Brasil, na praia de Ipanema. É realmente muito bom para se reunir com os amigos, um momento de diversão para todo mundo. E quanto mais gente, melhor!” Não confunda com a 'brésilienne'  O grupo nasceu entre brasileiros, mas rapidamente ultrapassou essa fronteira. Franceses e outras nacionalidades também participam das partidas.  Isadora explica que muitos franceses confundem a altinha com a "brésilienne", prática baseada em embaixadinhas individuais. A altinha privilegia a troca de passes em grupo. “Você vê pessoas em roda fazendo embaixadinha, toques isolados e perto do corpo para mostrar suas habilidades com toque de bola, sendo que a altinha não tem nada a ver com isso, porque um toque na bola são bolas altas e para cima, e também tem dinâmica de ataque, bolas fortes e para frente”, explica Isadora.  Os vídeos publicados pelas amigas em Paris viralizaram; algumas postagens ultrapassaram a marca de dois milhões de visualizações no Instagram. Hoje, elas reúnem uma comunidade cada vez maior na capital francesa, com mais de mil integrantes em um grupo de WhatsApp.  Novos grupos se espalham pela Europa A febre não ficou restrita a Paris. O interesse pela modalidade também impulsionou o surgimento de novas comunidades em países como Suíça, Holanda, Portugal e Espanha e até inspirou novos negócios voltados para a prática. Um deles é a Altinha Life, criada há cerca de um ano pelo holandês Rutger. Depois de descobrir o esporte em Barcelona, onde viu brasileiros jogando na praia, ele decidiu ajudar a popularizar a modalidade no continente europeu. “Quando fui ao Brasil, vi muita gente jogando e percebi como a atividade reunia diversão e alegria", contou o jovem holandês.  Hoje, a empresa mantém parcerias com grupos de praticantes em cidades como Paris e Genebra e negocia novas colaborações em outras localidades francesas. Segundo Rutger, as redes sociais têm desempenhado um papel central na expansão do esporte. “No início era difícil encontrar pessoas que jogavam. Agora novos grupos aparecem o tempo todo”, afirma. Às margens do lago Léman As bolas da empresa são utilizadas por diferentes comunidades que surgiram nos últimos anos pelo continente, entre elas a Altinha Paris. Uma das mais recentes é a Alta Suisse, fundada em Genebra pelo suíço Tom. Fã de futebol e da cultura brasileira, ele descobriu a altinha e passou a praticá-la regularmente na Baby Plage, às margens do Lago Léman. O interesse despertado entre frequentadores do local foi tanto que Tom decidiu criar um grupo para reunir novos praticantes. Lançada em agosto, a iniciativa já reúne mais de cem pessoas no WhatsApp e promove encontros frequentes em parques e quadras poliesportivas, um sinal de como o esporte vem ganhando espaço além da comunidade brasileira. “Começamos a desenvolver esse trabalho esse ano e, hoje, vemos cada vez mais bolas da Altinha Life. As pessoas veem nossos vídeos e sempre perguntam de onde vêm as bolas [...] Aproveitamos para explicar um pouco como se joga.”  Com o verão chegando ao fim e as temperaturas começando a cair, muitos se perguntam o que acontecerá com um esporte tão ligado à vida ao ar livre. Por enquanto, a altinha segue ocupando praças e parques europeus, levando um pouco das praias brasileiras para o continente europeu.  

Depuis 1793, le 1er arrondissement de Paris accueille le plus grand musée d'art du monde : le musée du Louvre. 35 000 œuvres chargées d'Histoire, 360 000 m2 au plancher, dont 72 735 m2 de galeries.

You've nodded along to the story lesson all year and kept firing the art gatling gun. So I'm done teaching it. This episode, I become it. Want to join Patrick for a live webinar? He hosts one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Register here: asf.today/webinar I've never recorded an episode like this one. Three proofs that the art doesn't change, the story does. Then I run the experiment on myself, on you: the mini life story I've avoided telling for nine years. At the end, one question. How much more do you have in common with me now than you did forty minutes ago? In this episode: The two failure modes after every "yeah yeah, I get it": nod and revert, or one post and revert The art gatling gun. Art, art, art, one shot fired forever. What I see when I open your profile My hedge: the artist who did the exact opposite of everything I teach, to the tune of $347K, and the softball story about copying a fence-clearing home run What happens on a webinar when one artist opens with their story instead of their awards: the whole room asks for their Instagram Mona Lisa: respected, not famous, until a Louvre handyman walked out with it in 1911. Story added, value explodes Banksy: signed originals at $60 from an unmarked Central Park stall. Eight buyers all day. Story removed, value collapses Joshua Bell: a $3.5M Stradivarius in a DC Metro station, 1,097 people walked past. Context removed, excellence disappears How Elon Musk interviews: "Tell me the story of your life." Your art is the résumé. The story is the interview. Every collector is Musk I asked AI what my listeners actually know about me after nine years. It's embarrassingly thin Then the story: Hawaii, Pearl Harbor from a front yard, Boston Latin and MIT, Janis Joplin as the backyard band, an IBM under the Christmas tree, a john boat off La Jolla Scott and the nametag, the dog you end up walking, and the claw machine: every facet you surface opens another lane to your art "But I'm not interesting." Rare lanes are small, common lanes are enormous. Painting at 5am in half the garage is a bin with millions of people in it This week's homework: make the list. Every facet of your life someone could glom onto, the mundane ones included. Pick one and put it in front of your art this week. You don't know what's going to work. You do know art, art, art isn't.

From his home in Østerbro, Copenhagen-born French-Vietnamese-Danish jazz bassist, composer, and band leader CHRIS MINH DOKY shares his journey that included a multicultural musical upbringing, becoming the house bass player at Copenhagen's La Fontaine at 17, and moving to New York at 18 to be closer to the music he loved, which resulted in a 30-year stay. Chris talks about discovering Miles Davis and the improvisational language of jazz that lends itself to superimposing on other genres. ----------For today's episode, Chris Minh Doky chose Antonio Corradini's Femme voilée (la Foi?), or Veiled Woman (Faith?), from 1800, from the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris.https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010094893  ----------Photographer: Camilla Winther----------This conversation with Finn-Olaf Jones occurred on July 15, 2026.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.

A pair of thieves broke into a small museum in southern France and stole artwork worth millions made by the legendary painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, local authorities said on Tuesday, less than a year after the high-profile Louvre Museum heist in which thieves stole more than $100 million worth of French crown jewels.

En ce moment c'est la folie, les musées se font braquer de partout. Encore récemment, c'est celui de Vienne qui s'est fait tirer un collier de diamant. Et malheureusement, ça va continuer, notamment pour une raison : l'or ! Parce que la vieille gourmette de Mémé, ça pèse pas lourd et ça rapporte quelques dizaines d'euros maxi chez un revendeur, mais dans les musées, on trouve de la vraie belle joncaille avec des objets en or massif qui pèsent parfois plusieurs kilos. Forcément, pour des petits malins, c'est tentant…Bonne écoute !

Nous sommes aujourd'hui avec Romain Taieb, le fondateur de Doki Doki, le premier hand roll bar de la capitale. Serveur, puis manager et directeur de restaurant chez Paris Society, où il participe à la création du Piaf et de Bambini, il vole de ses propres ailes en 2021 pour importer en France un concept découvert à New York. Quatre adresses parisiennes plus tard, la marque vise les 5 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires et prépare ses premières ouvertures à l'étranger. Pour co-animer ce nouvel épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné d'Elisa Gautier, la fondatrice du restaurant Kiosk et de la newsletter Chaleur Tournante.À travers cet épisode, nous cherchons à comprendre comment Romain Taieb a transformé une intuition new-yorkaise en un modèle de restauration rentable, pensé dès le premier jour pour être dupliqué partout dans le monde.Pour cela, Romain remonte le fil d'un parcours qui n'avait rien d'écrit. Une enfance en Afrique de l'Ouest, une arrivée à Paris à sept ans, la perte prématurée de ses parents, puis huit années à vivre du poker avant de tout reprendre à zéro. Il entre alors dans la restauration par la plus petite porte, en brasserie, et y découvre un métier de courage qui le passionne. Manager, puis directeur, il enchaîne les univers jusqu'au coup de fil de Laurent de Gourcuff qui le mène chez Paris Society, et jusqu'à ce comptoir new-yorkais où tout se joue.Ainsi, on évoque la manière dont l'intuition devient réalité. Romain trouve son local au rez-de-chaussée de la Poste du Louvre, sans extraction ni fonds de commerce, et lance le projet avec 350 000 euros. Il détaille ce qui fait le concept : un sourcing obsessionnel, une carte courte, un grand bar en béton coulé et un service sans serveur où tout se prépare devant le client. Ouvert en janvier 2022, Doki Doki trouve son public immédiatement, et il l'assume : tout était pensé dès le départ pour être dupliqué.Enfin, Romain déroule l'enchaînement des ouvertures, du flagship de la rue Marbeuf aux adresses de la rue des Martyrs et de Neuilly, sans masquer les mois de doute traversés. Il ouvre ensuite grand les livres, avec la transparence qu'on aime ici : chiffre d'affaires, EBITDA, ratios et levée de fonds. Il évoque une concurrence qu'il juge stimulante et son choix de mener le marché plutôt que de le suivre. Il dévoile enfin la suite : Genève, Nice, les franchises à Sofia, Marrakech et Abidjan, un coffee shop, et une ambition assumée, devenir le leader mondial du hand roll. Hébergé par Acast.

An 11 minute raid. Six smashed display cases. Twenty-seven works gone, including one of Rene Lalique's most symbolic jewels: the Woman Dragonfly With Open Wings pendant. In episode 125 of Gem Pursuit, Matthew tells the story of the Lalique Museum Heist. This time the setting is smaller, but the loss is deeply painful for anyone who cares about jewellery history: 27 works by Rene Lalique stolen from the Musee Lalique in Wingen-sur-Moder, Alsace. Matthew begins with the reason Lalique matters. His jewellery was not valuable only because of gold, diamonds or precious stones. Lalique used glass, enamel, horn, ivory and semi-precious stones to make jewellery whose real value sits in design, technique, cultural importance and imagination. The episode then reconstructs the theft itself: three masked men, an early morning break-in, sledgehammers, six display cases and an alarm response that appears to have failed at the worst possible moment. Matthew also looks at the practical problem facing the thieves afterwards. These pieces are recognisable, fragile and difficult to sell openly, while breaking them up would destroy much of what makes them valuable. The episode closes with the wider question raised by the Lalique and Louvre thefts: how should museums protect vulnerable objects while still allowing the public to see the real thing? www.courtville.ie www.gempursuit.com Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

El programa La noche de Arjona aborda en su sección 'La enciclopedia oculta' los robos y las desapariciones más célebres de la historia. En primer lugar, analiza la sustracción de la Gioconda del Museo del Louvre en 1911, cuando un empleado la oculta bajo su ropa y la guarda durante dos años en su vivienda. Asimismo, repasa el atraco al Museo Isabella Stewart Gardner de Boston en 1990, donde dos falsos policías sustraen trece valiosas obras de arte y dejan los marcos vacíos hasta el presente. A continuación, rememora el gran robo del tren postal británico de 1963, en el que una banda manipula los semáforos ferroviarios para apoderarse de millones de libras, y el golpe al Banco Central de Fortaleza en Brasil en 2005, que los delincuentes ejecutan mediante la excavación de un túnel de ochenta metros. Por su parte, el criminólogo Juan Enrique Soto explica que la fascinación popular por estos delitos responde al desafío hacia el orden establecido y sostiene que no existen crímenes ...

Who writes letters anymore? Who sends snail mail when you can email or text? We want instant input, a feed we can scroll through and assess our interest in milliseconds. We swipe past anything boring, and forward a meme we like. (I bet some of you even debated whether to read this paragraph because of its length! I know I do.) Who has time to sit around and read long periodicals, much less some arduous theological treatise? The irony of the information superhighway is how little we actually take in and glean. We've become a society who posts pictures of ourselves at the Louvre without sitting and staring at masterpieces. The hours a soul has poured into conveying meaning through art... and we have fifteen seconds to give to it. Somehow as a society we are beginning to awaken to the tragedy of that loss of attention in the arts and education. So what about our spiritual lives? The Scriptures require soaking. There's no cursory swiping. And all of the latest stats say exactly what you'd expect, including among regular attenders of worship. But what does that really mean for us in our relationship with God? How can we counteract that trend? Let's talk about the joy God intends through giving us such a high investment, deeply personal way to know him: "Scripture" (Psalm 19)

Is Lyon, France the Most Livable City in Europe for Gay Retirees? With Eric WayIn this episode, host Mark Goldstein sits down with Eric Way, a Tennessee-born engineer who arrived in Lyon, France, in 1989 as a university exchange student and never left. Now approaching his 38th year in the city, Eric lives downtown in a 19th-century apartment with his French architect husband and splits time between Lyon and a farmhouse they own in the French Alps. He brings a rare depth of perspective: nearly four decades as an American expat, a career in corporate diversity and inclusion, and a front-row seat to how Lyon has evolved as a livable, gay-friendly city.This episode covers what it actually looks like to build a life in Lyon: the walkability, the world-ranked healthcare, the cost of living compared to Paris, the LGBTQ+ scene, the visa path, and the honest trade-offs.What Is LyonLyon is France's third-largest city, located in southeastern France at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, a geographic feature that gives the city two riverfront parks and a distinctive linear layout. It sits roughly two hours south of Paris by high-speed train and serves as a hub for reaching the French Alps, the Beaujolais wine region, Burgundy, the Riviera, and even Barcelona. The historic center, known as the Presqu'île (the peninsula), is a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. Lyon is widely considered the gastronomic capital of France.Why Eric Chose LyonEric arrived in 1989 on a one-year university exchange program and found something he did not expect: a city whose values matched his own. Coming from a fundamentalist Christian family in Tennessee and still in the process of coming out, he discovered in Lyon a culture of live-and-let-live tolerance that felt, in his words, freer than the United States. He stayed. A few years later, he met his husband. The rest, as he says, is history.LGBTQ+ LifeLyon has a visible but modest LGBTQ+ scene concentrated around the City Hall area on the Presqu'île. At the time of recording, there are two gay bars, a gay sauna, a sex club, and a bear bar reportedly opening within months. There is a city-sponsored LGBTQ+ center and an annual Pride march, though Eric notes that Lyon Pride has become more politically divided in recent years, with some organizers now refusing corporate participation. The broader city is deeply accepting. Eric and his husband have lived part-time in a 250-person Alpine village for years and describe being fully adopted by their elderly neighbors without a moment of discomfort. Among their friend group, gay and straight friendships naturally overlap, though, like many couples without children, their closest circle has become predominantly other gay couples over time.Daily Life and WalkabilityEric's doctor is three blocks away. His pharmacy, organic grocery store, bank, bakery, butcher, and eye care are all within one to two blocks. Outdoor markets run on Wednesdays and Sundays in his neighborhood. The metro system is efficient and growing, with a tram network expanding even faster. A single ticket costs approximately 2.30 euros and covers one hour of travel. Monthly passes run around 100 euros. Seniors receive rail discounts starting at age 60, often allowing first-class travel at second-class prices.Eric drives his older car into Lyon no more than 52 times per year under a city environmental permit system, which he now finds perfectly adequate since he is no longer working. Lyon's riverfront parks, pedestrian streets, and walkable neighborhoods make car ownership largely optional for daily life.Costs and HousingLyon is typically half the price of Paris for both rent and property. Eric and his husband purchased their 800-square-foot, two-bedroom downtown apartment approximately 30 years ago for about $35,000. It is now worth roughly ten times that. Their monthly electricity bill runs approximately 70 to 80 euros every two months; gas adds about 45 euros on top of that. France applies a 20% VAT on most purchases, which is worth factoring into any cost-of-living comparison.HealthcareFrance's healthcare system consistently ranks first in the world for quality, accessibility, and cost. A standard doctor visit costs 30 euros; specialist visits range from 70 to over 100 euros. Foreign residents access coverage through PUMA, France's universal health coverage, which applies to legal residents regardless of employment status. Most residents also carry a Mutuelle, a supplementary top-up insurance policy that covers what the national system does not. Eric pays approximately 250 euros per month for a Mutuelle covering both himself and his husband.Visas and ResidencyThe standard route for American retirees is a long-stay visitor visa, applied for through the French consulate in the United States before departure. Residents typically start with one-year renewals before eventually qualifying for a ten-year card. Eric notes that a recent change to French law has removed the citizenship pathway for non-working residents. Americans retiring to France on a visitor visa are unlikely to be eligible for naturalization under the current rules.France does not officially recognize a digital nomad visa. Eric cautions anyone planning to work remotely in France to take legal advice before doing so, as working without proper authorization carries real risk.TaxesThe US-France tax treaty is highly favorable for American retirees. If your income is US-sourced, France will generally not tax it, and you will continue paying US rates. Eric recommends working with both a US tax preparer and a French one, particularly for the first few years.One specific flag: France does not recognize trusts. If you have a trust established in the United States, you need professional advice before moving to France, as it will be taxed very unfavorably and may fall outside the treaty's protections.France also has a wealth tax on real estate holdings above approximately 1.2 million euros, and forced heirship laws that entitle children to a portion of your estate regardless of your wishes. Both are worth understanding before making the move.Crime and SafetyEric has lived in Lyon's city center for nearly four decades and describes feeling consistently safe. In that entire time, he recalls one incident in which he and his husband were briefly followed downtown and had to walk away quickly. France has a higher rate of property crime relative to the United States, but a significantly lower rate of violent crime and essentially no gun violence outside of hunting contexts. Responsible gun ownership is legally required: pistols for target shooting require a course and registration.Arts, Culture, and CommunityLyon has the second-largest fine arts museum in France outside the Louvre, a national orchestra, a Jean Nouvel-designed opera house, the Maison de la Danse (an internationally renowned contemporary dance center with a biennial festival), and rotating modern art exhibitions in repurposed industrial spaces. The Festival of Lights each December transforms the city's buildings into a four-day sound-and-light spectacle. June 21 brings the Fête de la Musique, a nationwide outdoor concert event where every square in the city fills with live music from classical to rock to jazz.What to Know Before You GoFrench is essential. Eric is direct about this: people who arrive expecting to get by on a few phrases or believing fluency will come by osmosis are setting themselves up for frustration and social isolation. He recommends investing in one-on-one instruction before you arrive, not after. Jumpspeak is his suggested app for building conversational fluency.The climate has four seasons: mild winters with rare snow, pleasant springs and autumns, and summers that are warming noticeably due to climate change. Eric manages without air conditioning through insulation techniques, though newer and renovated buildings increasingly have heat pumps that provide cooling as a byproduct.Lyon rewards people who want to get out and explore. The city sits at the gateway to the Alps, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Provence, the Riviera, Switzerland, and Italy. Eric and his husband once went bungee jumping in the Alps, drove to Italy for pasta for dinner, and were home in Lyon that night. For those who prefer to stay closer to home, the outdoor markets, river walks, and restaurant scene are enough to fill a very good life.Resources MentionedPresqu'ile: Lyon's central peninsula neighborhood between the Rhone and Saone rivers Perrache: The original Lyon train station, three minutes from Eric's apartment Fourviere: The hilltop with Lyon's famous basilica and Roman ruins Beaujolais vineyards: 30 minutes from Lyon; beautiful in autumn Albertville: Near Eric's Alpine farmhouse; site of the 1992 Winter Olympics Festival of Lights (Fete des Lumieres): Annual four-day light installation festival each December Fete de la Musique: June 21, nationwide outdoor music festival Maison de la Danse: Lyon's internationally recognized contemporary dance center PUMA: France's universal health coverage for residents Mutuelle: Supplementary insurance that tops up public healthcare coverage PACS: French civil partnership; same tax treatment as marriage, with one exception: survivor pension rights do not transfer unless married Jumpspeak: Language learning app recommended by Eric for conversational FrenchListen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts, on YouTube, or at

Quand un objet volé est retrouvé, c'est toujours une explosion de joie, un trésor révélé, une énigme résolue, un mystère dévoilé. En revanche, quand il disparaît sans laisser de traces, ça pique toujours un peu et reste un mystère tenace. C'est le cas d'un tableau de la Renaissance disparu au cours de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale : Le portrait d'un jeune homme de Raphaël. Avec Emmanuelle Polack, historienne de l'art et spécialiste de la spoliation d'œuvres d'art par le régime nazi, missionnée par le musée du Louvre pour vérifier dans ses collections la provenance des achats effectués entre 1933 et 1945. On commence par rencontrer ce tableau dont on a perdu la trace depuis 1945.

Effet de crise, faiblesses de sécurité, appât du gain face à tout ce qui brille, les vols se multiplient : des joyaux de la Couronne de France au Louvre aux pièces d'or du musée romain de Vidy à Lausanne. Mais certains objets brûlent les doigts et le vol se transforme en tout autre chose : l'objet volé se révèle au monde, sa disparition lui donne une valeur inédite et ne laisse que l'ardeur du désir pressant de son retour. Un événement qui laisse l'empreinte profonde de son absence. Entre 1794 et 1811, la Révolution française puis l'empire du premier Napoléon s'emparent de milliers d'objets d'art, d'archives, de livres, et même d'animaux vivants pris aux Pays-Bas, en Allemagne, en Italie, en Espagne, en Croatie et jusqu'en Slovénie. Un casse de grande ampleur qui nous tiendra pour deux épisodes avec Bénédicte Savoy, professeure d'histoire de l'art à l'université technique de Berlin. Elle est l'autrice de nombreux ouvrages sur les restitutions de biens culturels volés et d'un rapport avec Felwine Sarr sur la restitution du patrimoine culturel africain en 2018 pour le gouvernement français. Son dernier livre 1815, le temps du retour, paru aux éditions La Découverte, raconte le pillage gigantesque de l'Europe au cours des guerres napoléoniennes et ses conséquences. Mais, pour commencer, parmi les objets d'art que la France s'approprie à ce moment-là, de quoi parle-t-on ? Bénédicte Savoy, professeure d'histoire de l'art à l'université technique de Berlin. Elle est l'autrice de nombreux ouvrages sur les restitutions de biens culturels volés et d'un rapport avec Felwine Sarr sur la restitution du patrimoine culturel africain en 2018 pour le gouvernement français. Autrice de 1815, le temps du retour, Restituer l'art en Europe après l'Empire napoléonien paru aux éditions La Découverte.

Mai Ueda has spent twenty-five years refusing to be any one thing. Born in Japan, she landed in New York in 2000, fell in with Miltos Manetas, and helped invent NEEN: one of the first art movements to treat the internet as a place for poetry and accidental beauty. A decade later she followed a different thread home and focused her art practice on Japanese tea ceremony and find that it had been conceptual art all along. Today she's in the mountains of Hyogo with a broken kiln and a horse she hasn't met yet, calling her next chapter simply “nature.”On the profession of being yourself, on refusing every role — artist, sister, wife, tea master; on being named for dancing, on tea as the Origin of the Universe, on doing everything and becoming nothing in particular, on receiving a message in front of the Louvre, on NEEN and accidental beauty, on ego and money, on kimono as an education, on Rikyu as the Duchamp of Zen, on the tea room as a black cube four hundred and fifty years early, on the teacher who beat her hand, on permission as a pyramid scheme, on four hundred people arriving in Rome for a tea master who is not a tea master, on the matcha boom as a good shallow entrance, on strawberry jam and a Starbucks cup as the true beginning of the Way, on students taking off their shoes and feeling the pain leave their bodies, on horses and pottery and Vipassana an hour down the road, on the difference between luxury and abundance, on Haruka-chan, the AI friend you never use forcefully, on quiet resistance to every system, on practice, on freedom that is never quite enough, and on the whole point, which might just be: enjoy your life.ExcerptsMy profession is to be myself.Rikyu is like the Duchamp of the Zen tea world.Picking up matcha from a Starbucks kind of thing is already the beginning of a tea ceremony.What's the message? Enjoy your life. Have fun!Connect with https://maiueda.com Get full access to Leafbox at leafbox.substack.com/subscribe

Điều gì đã biến một vụ trộm tranh tầm thường tại Louvre thành bệ phóng đưa Mona Lisa trở thành kiệt tác đắt giá nhất hành tinh? Phát súng tàn khốc tại sân bay Manila đã kích hoạt quân cờ domino nào để lật đổ chính quyền Marcos? Và tại sao chỉ trong ba ngày nghẹt thở của tháng Tám, một siêu cường như Liên Xô lại đột ngột rạn nứt rồi tan rã? Ngày 21 tháng 8 không chỉ là những con số, mà là giao điểm của những âm mưu chính trị, những bước ngoặt địa chính trị làm thay đổi bản đồ thế giới từ Hawaii đến Đông Nam Á, và cả những góc khuất sau hào quang của cuộc Cách mạng Tháng Tám 1945 tại Việt Nam. Cùng SBS theo dòng lịch sử 'ôn cố tri tân' qua những biến động địa chính trị lớn của nhân loại diễn ra vào ngày 21 tháng 8.

Marquett hits the streets of Paris and turns a casual trip through the Louvre into a real-world lesson on confidence, timing, social awareness, and taking action.From reading eye contact and adapting his style to the environment to knowing when to approach, when to move on, and why hesitation can cost you an opportunity, Marquett breaks down the psychology behind what he calls a “game day.”But one unexpected encounter outside the Louvre takes the story in an entirely different direction.In this episode, Marquett breaks down why success comes from accumulating small advantages, why most people wait until they feel comfortable before acting, and why learning to move early can change far more than your dating life.Confidence. Timing. Awareness. Execution.Watch until the end for the full Paris player story.⸻

Jo Piazza is the bestselling author of Everyone Is Lying to You, The Sicilian Inheritance, and her newest novel, The Parisian Heist, and the host of the Under the Influence podcast. Kate and Jo open by tracing the origins of trad wife culture on social media, discussing Nara Smith's recent rejection of the tradwife label on Call Her Daddy, and whether a new wave of trad wife horror novels signals a real cultural shift or simply a more extreme splintering of the trend. The conversation then turns to The Parisian Heist, a dual timeline mystery following an American art student in 1990s Paris entangled with a powerful art dealing family, alongside the real history of Jo van Gogh Bonger, the sister in law who single handedly built Vincent van Gogh's legacy after his death, with Jo discussing her research trips to Paris and Auvers sur Oise and how the 2025 Louvre jewel heist informed the novel's climax.

A St. Louis story that's bizarre for all the wrong reasons: a regional Amber Alert, a supposedly stolen Dodge Charger and a missing child who investigators ultimately determined had never been inside the vehicle. The crew gets into the false report, the massive police response it triggered and the uncomfortable fact that this wasn't the first high-profile false child-abduction report the area has dealt with recently.You'd think we'd stay serious after that. You must be new here.Moon finally saw The Odyssey in IMAX, which means it's time for a completely reasonable film review that immediately becomes a referendum on whether human beings still know how to behave inside a movie theater. Talking, climbing over people, premium ticket prices and seats close enough to the screen to personally inspect Tom Holland's pores—moviegoing truly is magical.Then comes an argument guaranteed to make somebody angrily talk to their dashboard: which bands followed a killer debut album with a disappointing sophomore effort? Guns N' Roses, Garbage, Weezer, Bush, Hootie and the Blowfish, Boston, The Darkness, The Strokes, Meat Loaf and Vanilla Ice all enter the conversation, and not everybody leaves with their dignity. Moon also brings an actual musician's perspective to why that second album can be such a nightmare when your first record becomes a hit. Welcome to our funny podcast, where suddenly we're discussing artistic pressure like responsible adults before immediately ruining it.Crap on Celebrities arrives carrying the usual bag of entertainment nonsense. Geddy Lee has a strange encounter with a bird that raises questions about Neil Peart and spiritual visits. Josh Homme reportedly gets expensive while looking irritatingly cool doing it. The crew digs into the renewed conversation surrounding Hilary Duff's teenage relationship with Joel Madden, along with other music and celebrity stories.Then things somehow expand to burglary, stolen treasure and grudges.There's celebrity break-in news, plus Rizz's firsthand visit to the Louvre room connected to an enormous jewel heist—which naturally leads to the discovery that museum security apparently has some surprisingly Walgreens-adjacent rules about chasing people. The show also gets into Jon Hamm, Matthew Lillard facing a fan who held onto a grievance for years, Hollywood's biggest directors and a debate over the greatest movie sequels ever made. Terminator 2, Aliens, The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight, The Godfather Part II and even Paddington 2 get dragged into the arena because this funny podcast respects cinema almost as much as it respects wasting everyone's time.And then suburbia gets interesting.Emily and Nathan from Double Lives of Suburban Wives join The Rizzuto Show to talk about the St. Louis-based reality series centered on women balancing suburban family life with major success creating digital adult content. It's the kind of premise that makes you realize the person standing next to you at soccer practice may have a considerably more interesting LinkedIn than you do.The conversation brings the show's unusual collision of ordinary suburban routines, relationships, reality television and decidedly less-ordinary careers straight into the studio. Because apparently picking up the kids, maintaining a marriage and appearing on television wasn't enough scheduling difficulty.It's St. Louis news, entertainment gossip, music arguments, movie complaints, celebrity chaos and suburban secrets packed into one funny podcast from Rizz, Lern, Moon, Rafe, King Scott and the gang.Basically, another normal day at The Rizzuto Show—assuming your definition of normal desperately needs professional evaluation.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizz shows up sporting a mysterious bandage under his eye, so naturally Lern, Moon and Rafe respond with compassion, maturity and absolutely none of the above. After theories involving shaving accidents, discount Nelly cosplay and possible violence, Rizz reveals what actually happened: he went to the dermatologist expecting to have a skin tag removed. Instead, the doctor took one look under magnification, decided it needed a closer look, removed it and sent it off for a biopsy.So obviously the show handles this delicate situation with dignity.Just kidding. Within minutes we're discussing solidarity Band-Aids, ribbons, Aquaphor, garlic carcinoma and whether Rizz can technically start calling himself a survivor. Nothing brings friends together quite like an unexpected medical procedure and the immediate weaponization of it for content.King Scott sends us into CPR, new-parent panic and the revelation that properly installing a child car seat apparently requires more training than anyone in the room expected. A firefighter calls in, King Scott gets some actual useful information, and Rizz remembers the time his son started choking on bacon — prompting Dad Instinct Rizz to spring into action before apparently returning to his omelet like he'd just completed a minor household chore.Lern has also researched emergency procedures for cats, because of course she has.Then Lern returns from Table Rock Lake and the crew settles an important semantic argument: was this a “vacation” or merely a “trip”? Her family getaway included Table Rock, Top of the Rock, an expensive golf-cart cave tour, fake rocks, Branson energy, a canned cave cocktail and enough nickel-and-diming to make you wonder if the scenery charges a convenience fee.The review? Roughly three out of five stars. Nature: beautiful. Family bonding: great. Branson sneaking into the cave like it owns the place: inevitable.That leads perfectly into “popcorn brain,” the term for what happens when our attention starts bouncing between notifications, videos, headlines and entertainment like somebody dumped a bucket of mental popcorn into our skulls. Rizz has watched it happen with his kids, Rafe admits it happens to him during the show, and suddenly everybody realizes this isn't just a teenager problem. We're all cooked.Rafe also celebrates his 3,000th comedy set, which is legitimately impressive and therefore cannot be discussed for long without everyone confusing Mr. 3000 with Mr. Baseball. Congratulations, Rafe. Three thousand performances and you're still voluntarily sitting in this studio. Incredible commitment. Questionable judgment.A St. Louis story that's bizarre for all the wrong reasons: a regional Amber Alert, a supposedly stolen Dodge Charger and a missing child who investigators ultimately determined had never been inside the vehicle.

It's the kind of premise that makes you realize the person standing next to you at soccer practice may have a considerably more interesting LinkedIn than you do.They were looking for an extra $150–$300 a month for groceries… and somehow that turned into hundreds of thousands of dollars, reality TV, and a conversation about monster toys before most people finished their morning coffee.Emily and Nathan from TLC's Double Lives of Suburban Wives join The Rizzuto Show, and we have approximately 47 questions — several of which probably should not be asked before lunch.Emily's story starts in a place a lot of families know all too well: trying to make the bills work. She and Nathan were working opposite shifts to avoid daycare costs, running a woodworking business, and looking for a way to bring in an extra $150–$300 a month.Nothing crazy. Just grocery money.Then Nathan floated the idea of Emily making adult content.Fast-forward four years, and “grocery money” has become a full-blown business spread across multiple platforms. Emily explains how she started cautiously, why showing a real body with stretch marks and cellulite mattered to her, and how one of her earliest subscribers turned out to be what the industry calls a “whale.”Emily and Nathan also explain why they decided to put their lives on TLC's Double Lives of Suburban Wives, what it's like having cameras follow them around the St. Louis area, and why they haven't experienced the massive hometown backlash some people might expect.The conversation gets more serious as Emily discusses body positivity, the stigma surrounding mothers who create adult content, and how she and Nathan have handled conversations about their work with their family. Their position is pretty simple: they're happy, safe, providing for their family, and not particularly interested in living according to somebody else's expectations.Which is probably healthier than reading the comments section. Nobody has ever emerged from there improved.Then we get into the reality-TV side of things.Emily admits the women featured on Double Lives of Suburban Wives aren't necessarily one giant happy friend group. Different personalities, different levels of success, different struggles and — because television producers enjoy remaining employed — plenty of drama.Is some of it ego-driven? Is there competition? What happens when someone enters an already selective group? And could a second season crank things up even further?Emily gives us a glimpse without spoiling the show, while Nathan delivers perhaps the most efficient response to critics imaginable: if people don't approve of the business, maybe they should tell their husbands to stop subscribing.The conversation also covers how creating content changed Emily and Nathan's relationship, whether their views on monogamy have evolved, the truly astonishing variety of things people will pay to see online, and whether Rafe or Lern could theoretically find their own bizarre niche.From woodworking and reptile shows to reality television, body positivity, internet entrepreneurship, suburban gossip and some VERY specific customer requests, this funny podcast is essentially the American dream after somebody accidentally left the parental controls off.And underneath all the jokes is a surprisingly interesting conversation about money, marriage, judgment, family and what “normal” actually looks like when your side hustle becomes more successful than anybody expected.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to How to Decorate from Ballard Designs! While the team takes a short summer break, they are re-sharing a handful of their all-time favorite podcast episodes. Today, Caroline, Taryn, and Liz sit down with American interior designer David Jimenez to discuss his path to living in Paris and his Rizzoli book, Parisian by Design: Interiors by David Jimenez. David shares the secrets behind effortless Parisian style, the art of layering, and how to create deeply personal spaces filled with joy and memories. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Embrace Antiques for Continuity: The French are known for holding onto the pieces they buy and passing them down through their families. Bringing familiar, story-filled antiques into a new home offers a comforting and reassuring atmosphere. Curate a "Salon Style" Gallery Wall: To replicate the gallery walls seen in the Louvre Museum, start hanging artwork on thin metal rods right under your room's ceiling molding. Mix Finishes Fearlessly: Do not feel constrained by strict design rules regarding matching wood or metal finishes. Mixing dark and light woods, or nickel and brass, brings energy and vital contrast to a room. Leverage Large-Scale Pieces: Create dramatic "highs and lows" in your spaces by mixing oversized items with smaller ones. A large piece of art or a tall secretary desk provides visual surprise and hierarchy. Utilize Decorative Screens: Room dividers can introduce subtle layers of texture and color, or serve a highly practical purpose like masking an unattractive view outside a window without blocking the natural sunlight. Anchor with Black: Black serves as an excellent underlying punctuation mark in a room. Using black lampshades is a reliable way to add contrast and prevent a space from feeling too monotonous. What You'll Hear on This Episode: 00:00 An introduction to the summer "best of" series and a warm welcome to guest David Jimenez. 04:52 David's career journey, starting as a Gap salesperson and leading to his relocation to reinvent a historic French brand. 08:37 The beauty of investing in antiques and the reassurance of bringing familiar furniture into new spaces. 13:55 How to casually layer your decor over the course of a relaxing afternoon. 16:27 Tips for constructing a Louvre-inspired gallery wall with high placements and metal rods. 20:20 Why breaking traditional design rules about wood and metal finishes breathes life into a room. 23:02 Using scale and oversized pieces to create necessary visual drama. 25:37 Practical and aesthetic applications for decorative folding screens. 29:02 The inspiration behind David's favored 7cm-wide black and white striped curtains from the Marché Saint-Pierre. 32:25 Why black lampshades and pops of dual-tone colors help ground a space. 34:29 How observing master designers like Madeleine Castaing can influence your own design choices. 37:23 Exploring the second half of David's book, featuring an insider's guide to Parisian artisans and shopping destinations. 41:01 The crucial etiquette for shopping at French flea markets, starting with a polite greeting. 44:07 Finding bold color inspiration within historic French museums and former homes. 51:29 Details on where to purchase Parisian by Design and where to follow David's work online.

A man in a poly relationship is worried that his penis smells like his girlfriend's vagina despite his meticulous hygiene practices. This doesn't bother him. But when he eventually convinces someone else to go down on him, will they notice? Is there a "special soap" he could use? In Paris, in the year 1911, an employee of the Louvre made off with the Mona Lisa. Fast forward to the year 2024. A woman "acquired" an explicit erotic painting left behind in an office re-organization featuring two men who live above the space. After 2 years of it hanging on her wall, she really loves this painting. She thinks the couple commissioned the art. Does she have to return it to them, and what on earth should she say if she does?
