Civic Reconstruction in Mont Saint-Bruno, Antiquity Heights

Communty News & Events

Mont Saint Bruno is currently in a state of reduced activity while the city is being reconfigured for the addition of an Opera House.The new Opera House is a true work of meshed art, created by architect Prince Gaianed diCremona in the finest spirit of Rococo styling.

In addition to the Opera House, four elegant new private houses will be available for rent in the Place de la Cathdrale. The Cathedral and Monastery will continue to serve as the heart and soul, respectively, of the city-state.

Les Arts de Saint-Bruno is currently closed as its building has been demolished to make way for the Opera House. It will re-open as soon as its new premises in the Opera House's ground floor arcade are ready for occupancy.

Nativity Art by Murillo at Les Arts de Saint-Bruno to Jan. 10

Communty News & Events

I confess that I was not deeply familiar with Murillo's work before I began my research for this year's Nativity display, but in few short days I became very fond of his approach to the subject. His Holy Family pieces are so very intimately family pieces, and the faces of his Virgin catch my heart.

Now my lord assures me that Santa is really Finnish, and has provided video footage (with real reindeer) in support of his claim. Still, the North Pole is its own reward, and your card is irresistible. Blessed Solstice!

May your days be merry and bright! Three gowns to celebrate the season!

Dang - I'm not a fan of the Victorian era, comparatively speaking, but Antiquity Blue might ease my prejudice. Fabulous texture!

History

I cannot say that I find the work of Georg Engelhard Schroeders to be much to my taste, but his subjects are entirely in tune with the ethos of the age. Feminist though I am, I find that in her understanding of art and allegory, and indeed of pride in feminitity, Madame Eberstein falls clearly within the realm of the Philistine.

Perhaps she has a good argument in terms of intercultural understanding, but an Islamic guest of the diplomatic category will in general not be so insular as to reject antique artistic expression.
