Preserve and cultivate civilization, and all the life of our fragile earth, for future generations. ‘We live in a rainbow of chaos.’ Cezanne. Content not my own

Henri Manguin alongside Matisse and others was a founder and early exponent of the Fauve movement - what sets him apart is the strength and solidity of his draughtsmanship a lesson learned from Cézanne. This is 'The Lake of Bagatelle, Bois de Boulogne,' from 1909.

Who wrote the greatest 1st Symphony? Although I love Mahler's, I've got to give the nod to Berlioz. His Symphonie Fantastique is one of those landmark works - like Beethoven's 9th, Tristan und Isolde and The Rite of Spring - that utterly changed the course of Western art music.

Code of Hammurabi (1750 BC), from
Babylonia (modern-day Iraq). It was discovered in 1901, by French archaeological exploration team.

Code of Hammurabi remains one of oldest known systems of codified laws in human history. It not only has historical value but literary and artistic significance as well. It is a stele with inlaid art at top and list of laws in long column below it.

This artifact contains 282 complex rules handed down by King Hammurabi of Babylon.

You may have heard phrase “eye for an eye” quoted from it, but that penalty depended on your status and rank of person you injured.

A remarkable Roman mosaic showing a children's choir or Schola Cantorum, who would have performed sacred choral music at religious ceremonies. Fifteen young singers are depicted – possibly thirteen girls and two boys – all dressed in vibrant blue tunics, as well as an older choirmaster at the back. From the Temple of Diana Tifatina near Capua, today the Basilica of Sant'Angelo in Formis, 2nd-3rd century AD, Capua Provincial Museum of Campania.
