Pre-school Cunsultant

Forbidden City Art Meme

In Dark Angle , I have proposed to make a meme of Art. The truth, I am not very knowledgeable on the subject, although curious. I will do my best. Let's start
.

1 .- Why do you like art?
Because it is a representation of the world, because through it you can express feelings that might otherwise be impossible, because the first time I thought it was a magnificent cathedral.

2 .- What is your artist / work / time favorite?
Hard decision, I would say that Impressionism.

3 .- A book, a record and an artist to go to a desert island.
I take "The Cathedral of the Sea "or" The Pillars of the Earth ", which are also books" fat "and would be a fun day ...
One album: Music from Peer Gynt by Edvard Grieg, because I have special affection.
an artist: The truth is, I do not know, but anyone with me could get along, because being on a desert island with someone that you fall ill ... jajajajaj

4 .- Do you have any anecdote about art?
Well, I'll play a conversation:
Knight: Excuse me Miss, Really chains San Juan de los Reyes were pa'colgar Moors? How gross!
Laura: No, sir, who told you that?
Gentleman: A man.
Laura: Well, now you tell (and tell the story of the chains)
This happens to me very often and still do not know who is saying that the chains were used to hang people ...

5 .- Three adjectives that describe what is art for you . Essential
, human and relative.

6 .- A city and why.
Salamanca, because it has "everything."

7 .- Do you think It's all invented in the art world?
No, art is something linked to humanity, and reinvent itself and change as often as men do.

Well my little contribution here.
Now let a 5 proposed to continue with the meme:
Max and Lula, two's a crowd.
Velazquez: Art Olmos
Carlos: redlitos
Alberto Do you want to do the humor?
History Let

Best Hot Tropicunderwear

not control my clothes .... Thinking Blogger Award


The March 10, 1766 Esquilache led to an edict by which prohibits the use of long coats and slouch hat (wide brim). The reason: Trying to ensure safety in the street, if long coat was replaced by a short and wide shade of a cocked hat, it would be easier offenders to recognize and harder to hide weapons to clothing.


The days that followed the Edict, were filled with rumors and leaflets which led to an environment totally hostile and resulted in a riot on March 23 (Sunday). Blockages were filling up for that evening's most central sites in Madrid, at the end of that day some groups came to the house and managed to enter Esquilache. Of course, this was lucky and was in San Fernando.


The next day, the officers were ordered into the streets cutting layer and change of hat, but with bodyguards case. They were accompanied by the Walloon Guards. The streets in those days had new tenants, tailors, trimmed coats and pointed hats of Madrid.


Amid all this turmoil, Cuenca father appeared, dressed in habit, crown of thorns and carrying a crucifix, with the intention of mediating between the king and sublebados. So did you get these Carlos III claims :




  1. Removal of Esquilache.


  2. Exile he and his family.


  3. The rulers were of the kingdom.


  4. Freedom in the dress.


  5. governor of Castilla cessation.


  6. Walloon Guard Out of Madrid.


  7. Sale price of staples.


  8. That the King be shown publicly.


Carlos III had to accept this in writing, but that night the royal family he went to Aranjuez. The riot rose to be the city without a king and retained the chairman of the Council of Castile. This was forced to sign a document addressed to the king in the calling to return to the city and asked for their perdón.El monarch accepted the condition of disarmament and the rebels laid down their arms.


But what happened next?


Esquilache was exiled to Naples and unpopular edict was annulled on the dress. Carlos III took nearly 8 months to return to Madrid, meanwhile the Count of Aranda was in charge of turning the city into a place almost militarized.


Really the main cause of the riot was the edict on the dress? Or really was the hunger and discontent?


Perhaps the fact that Esquilache attempt to control the dress of the locals, it was just the straw that broke the camels back, as prices, bad economy and citizens' dissatisfaction with the foreign served as a breeding ground for the rebels.


finish picking one of the placards against Esquilache:


"had to be Italian,


there goes without pretense,


which mules and mules


got to have Highness


and has his head


in Hispanic butts "
