The Guide Profile :
Jean-Noël : English Speaking Licensed guide driver Sempre fui apaixonado pela arte e estou sempre feliz em compartilhar essa experiência com outras pessoas. Muitas vezes é mais importante observar as obras do que saber muito sobre eles. Nato do Maine e da Normandia, eu fiz a maioria dos meus estudos no exterior (Royal Academy of Arts, em Londres, Facultad de Filosofia y Letras de Madrid, Universidade de Colónia) e em Paris (licenciatura em russo no INALCO), com um especialização em arte. Eu também passei nove meses de Bordeaux para me familiarizar com os vinhos e enologia, e realizei um exame para me tornar um...

Ida ao Museu de Orsay
A história do museu e do seu edifício não é nada comum. No centro de Paris, às margens do rio Sena, em frente aos jardins Tuileries, o museu foi instalado na antiga estação ferroviária de Orsay, construída para a exposição universal de 1900. Assim, o edifício em si poderia ser visto como a primeira “obra de arte” do museu de D´Orsay, que exibe coleções de arte do período 1848 a 1914.
O museu de Orsay, foi originalmente concebido como uma estação de trem em 1900. Em torno de 1950, tornou-se evidente que as plataformas eram muito curtas para os trens modernos e o edifício tornou-se um teatro. Na década de 1970, foi remodelado e transformado em um museu dedicado à exposição no período de 1848 a 1915.
O museu foi construído em 3 níveis: no piso térreo as galerias estão distribuídas em ambos os lados da nave central, que é dominada por terraços de nível médio, estes por sua vez, se abrindo em galerias de exposição adicionais. O piso superior está instalado acima do saguão, que continua nas maiores elevações do antigo hotel, ao longo da Rue de La Légion d´Honneur.
Há muitas obras primas no Musée d´Orsay, incluindo trabalhos de Delacroix, Manet, Guaguin, Cézanne, Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Van Gogh e muitos outros grandes artistas.
Entre as obras espetaculares em exposição no museu de Orsay, tem “a mulher” de Auguste Clesinges, mordida por uma cobra, que escandalizou toda a Paris em 1847, por supostamente descrever uma mulher que não exatamente não foi mordida por uma cobra, mas que estava no auge do prazer, e segundo os críticos proeminentes da época, modelado a partir do corpo real da socialite do século XIX, Apollonie Sabatier.
O Museu de Orsay é um dos melhores museus de Paris, pelo próprio edifício fantástico e pelos tesouros que ele abriga. É uma verdadeira maravilha que o visitante de Paris não pode perder.
