Inspired by Eug\u00e8ne Boudin (1824-1898) \u2013 Beach out of Trouville (1864) \u2013 Oil on canvas \u2013 12,99 x 16,14 inch They\u2019re all there, gathered on the hot sand. Some standing, others sitting. They remember the good times of Maximilian’s life. His childhood, gilded in the old manor house in the family for generations. The eldest of four sisters and three brothers. His parents, wealthy aristocrats, spoiled their children till their last breath. The girls married wealthy men. The brothers entered the army. Maximilian preferred the religious orders. His attraction to religion began during his first communion. A magnificent ceremony with breathtaking choirs. When he went to bed that day, he had told his father his final decision.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The learning had been tedious.

He wished more than anything to be celebrated in happiness and joy. The women have, therefore, showed ingenuity to put on their most shining dresses of their wardrobe. As for men, the choice was white shirts and costumes in taupe tones. Even the dog Jules was among everyone and had a chat with each guest.<\/span><\/p>\n The sunshades opened are like a protection against the heavens\u2019 raw clarity. The angels radiate the crowd with their caring. Maximilian didn\u2019t find anything better to communicate with his family, all his family, no exception. After a fulfilled lifetime, a well earned rest.<\/span><\/p>\n Another last farewell before flying away for eternity and flirting with the illustrious spirits who preceded him in the ultimate ascent. Only a few minutes before the lights go out. Only a few more minutes to show amazing places.
