No, and\nyet, being so accustomed as we are to walking through places without\nactually seeing them, have you ever taken a close look at the barrier\nsurrounding the Obelisk? Have you ever religiously observed the fine\ngold metalwork that adorns this set?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a closer look\nand you will discover a whole world, a whole story. You will immerse\nyourself in Egypt, on the meanders of the Nile, aboard a precarious\nboat, pursued by pirates. The Nile, cradle of Egyptian civilization\nwith the pyramids and the sphinx of Giza near Cairo. An entire show !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, a waterfall.\nCould it be the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River? Precise location\nof the border between Zambia, near the town of Livingstone, and\nZimbabwe. The river in the cataract for about 1700 meters in width\nand up to a height of 108 meters. A radical change of scenery. The\ndeafening sound of water invades you. You can feel the splashes on\nyour face. The heat of the country is only a memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come a little\ncloser. Lose yourself in gold. Close your eyes then open your eyes.\nWhere are you ? In Australia\u2026 In search of the gigantic nugget of\nthe century through the steep paths of the Australian bush. Maybe\nwith the help of a few volunteer kangaroos, anything is possible. The\nnugget? It is right there in front of your amazed eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you think wealth,\npomp and the image of Ludwig II of Bavaria, nicknamed the &#8220;mad\nking&#8221; appears in your unconscious. A sweet romantic dreamer who\nlocked himself in an imaginary world. Another version of wealth and\npomp, French version with Louis XIV, nicknamed the &#8220;sun king&#8221;\nwith his superb castle at Versailles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By taking a step\nback, you then become aware of this perfect perspective which\nprojects your eyes in the distance towards the Church of the\nMadeleine and its neoclassical architectural style. Closer, you have\nthe H\u00f4tel de Crillon, its luxury cars for fans.<br>\n<br>\nThe next\ntime you come across the Place de la Concorde wrought ironwork,\neverything will look different!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil on cardboard \u2013 9,5 x 7 inch \u2013 Unique work Paris and its treasures, hidden or not!
