Reproductions of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe Nave Frescoes
No full textScene, possibly Joseph and His Brethren; The creation of copies of historic frescoes was begun in 1937 by Paul Deschamps, director of the then Musée des Monuments Français (with Paul Pradel and Marc Thibout). There are now over 400, representing French art from the 12th through 16th centuries. The Romanesque collection was opened in 1945. The Gothic collection was opened in 1955 and the Renaissance collection was opened in 1959. The original Romanesque frescoes from the nave of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe Abbey church (Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe, Poitou, France) date from ca. 1100.

l'Annonciation des Cordeliers
No full textOverall view, in the museum; This angel was originally a portal jamb sculpture from an unknown church. It was discovered in the Toulouse church of Cordeliers in the 19th century. There, since the 16th century, it had been used in part of the tomb sculpture of the family of Belbèze. It must date from before the Cordeliers church was built, ca. 1230-1250. It is in the style of the chapter house of La Daurade, the "style 1200", a transitional style between Romanesque and Gothic.

Handling unknown words in statistical latent-variable parsing models for Arabic, English and French
Get PDFThis paper presents a study of the impact of using simple and complex morphological clues to improve the classification of rare and unknown words for parsing. We compare this approach to a language-independent technique
often used in parsers which is based solely on word frequencies. This study is applied to three languages that exhibit different levels of morphological expressiveness: Arabic, French and English. We integrate information
about Arabic affixes and morphotactics into a PCFG-LA parser and obtain stateof-the-art accuracy. We also show that these morphological clues can be learnt automatically
from an annotated corpus
Bust of Antinous, called 'Antinous Ecouen'
No full textDetail head from below right; This marble bust of the lover of the emperor Hadrian (ruled 117-138) was present in the Louvre’s Salle des Antiques in 1793. It was long confused with a bronze sculpture confiscated from the Château d’Écouen in the same year, then transferred to Versailles before later joining the Louvre. (Antiquities from the royal residences were confiscated with the property of the Crown in 1792 and put on display at the Louvre.) Both sculptures reproduce a bust found during the Renaissance that probably came from the Villa Hadriana. The Louvre bust comes from the French royal collections and is an 18th-century copy of the Roman work. Source: Louvre Museum [website]; http://www.louvre.fr/ (accessed 4/15/2011
Château de Villandry
No full textFrontal view of north elevation of pavilions; The chateau is one of the last great Renaissance houses to be built on the Loire, and as such displays a Classical elegance reflecting Italian influence. It possesses features which are unusual in Touraine, such as rectangular pavilions (in place of the former round towers) in addition to the layout of the esplanade and its moat. It was originally a fortress, but nothing remains of that settlement except the keep, a square tower incorporated in the present structure. Acquired in the early 1500's by Jean Le Breton, France's Controller-General for War under King Francois I, a new château was constructed around the original 14th-century keep where King Philip II of France once met Richard I of England ("the Lionhearted") to discuss peace. The château remained in the Le Breton family for more than two centuries until it was acquired by the Marquis de Castellane. During the French Revolution the property was confiscated and in the early 1800's Emperor Napoleon acquired it for his brother Joseph Bonaparte.
