Hotels in 12th Arrondissement near Gare de Lyon Station
Hotels in the 12th arrondissement
The choice of hotels in the Gare de Lyon-Bercy area reflects the diversity of the neighborhood itself. Hotels near the Gare de Lyon are convenient for short stays or stopovers—conserve your budget at the ibis Gare de Lyon Diderot 12th opposite the station, or splash out on the Novotel Gare de Lyon for extra comforts including an indoor pool. For a touch of Gallic chic, Le Marceau Bastille is a stylish boutique hotel in Bercy tucked away in a quiet street near the opera, with a salon-bar that doubles as an art gallery and a tranquil tree-lined patio.
Things to see in the 12th arrondissement
One of the city's largest districts, the 12th arrondissement is also one of its most colorful. The Art Deco Palais de la Porte Dorée features an ornate frieze dating from the 1931 Colonial Exhibition, and also houses a charming aquarium and museum. The Opéra Bastille, one of the world's most prestigious opera companies, is based in a striking modern theater. Another hotspot is the Promenade Plantée—this disused railway track has been transformed into a green walkway linking Place de la Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes, the huge park that's home to Paris's much-loved zoo. In the evening, transport yourself back to the golden age of travel with a table at the legendary restaurant Le Train bleu. Here you can dine on classic French cuisine overlooking the Gare de Lyon's grand concourse before heading back to your 12th arrondissement hotel.
Good for travelers on a budget
Alongside grand old traditional hotels you'll find international budget chains and pocket-friendly hostels in the 12th arrondissement, where you can hang your beret for a fraction of the price of more upscale districts. This bohemian neighborhood is packed with great places to eat on a budget, as well as green spaces where you can enjoy the Parisian ambience for free. Check out Parc de Bercy between the Gare de Lyon and the river, noted for its water features and landscape art. Shop for clothes and antiques bargains at the open-air market on Rue d'Aligre, or sample delicious African street food at nearby Marché Beauvau.
How to get to the 12th arrondissement
Paris's international airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, are served by the city's rapid transit system (the RER) as well as several shuttle buses. Although there's no direct RER connection to the Gare de Lyon, you'll only have to change trains once. If you're arriving into Paris by Eurostar, the Gare du Nord terminal is just 2 stops away from the Gare de Lyon on the RER. The 12th arrondissement covers an extensive area on the right bank of the River Seine to the south-east of the city center. It's served by numerous metro and RER lines, so getting around by public transportation couldn't be simpler.

Millions of Britons are reducing their spending amid fears that economic recovery is still a distant prospect and confidence has fallen to a two-year low among company chiefs, surveys last night disclosed.
Fresh evidence of a national mood of pessimism emerged ahead of figures tomorrow expected to show the economy continues to stall.
David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband will today seek to turn the spotlight on to the economy ahead of next weekend's summit of G20 summit in Cannes.
A survey for the think-tank Resolution Foundation found that a third of adults had cut household spending and 19 per cent expected to make further savings next year.
The survey by Ipsos MORI also revealed rising anxiety about job security while Lloyds Bank said its research found 49 per cent of firms were gloomy about their prospects, a sharp rise from the 33 per cent who said they were gloomy last month.
Tomorrow's figures for economic growth in the third quarter are expected to show only a marginal increase in economic activity. The economy grew by 0.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2011 after flatlining for the previous six months.
Writing in the Financial Times today, Mr Cameron said: "There will be no short cuts to success. But this coalition has the determination to do the right thing for our country, so that we don't just weather the international storm – but come out stronger on the other side." He also announced that 1,000 jobs are to be created by the construction of two new power plants in the North of England.
Mr Miliband will warn today that cuts to investment allowances will lead to some firms receiving bills that are £30,000 higher, stifling their ability to expand.

There was serious tension at the Police Headquarters in Abuja when the new acting Inspector General of police allegedly wrote the presidency recommending retirement of senior police officers.
Codex News gathered that "On Friday, he wrote to the presidency, through the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, and it was approved and forwarded to the desk of the President for final approval.
Read Also: A foreign Ambassador kidnapped in Kaduna.
"According to what Idris wrote, his reason why he asked for their retirement is that he cannot work with them. He said he wants to in all sense of the world take charge of the police.
"He said since he has been given the responsibility to provide security, it was imperative that these AIGs be removed because they might be a clog in his wheel of progress.
"With this move, there is a tendency to make 14 Commissioners of Police AIGs since the available and compulsory vacancy for AIGs is 26.
"Already before now, 12 AIGs were promoted. From the 12, they will take seven of them to become Deputy Inspector General (DIGs) of Police and then they will be forced to go to the CP rank to fill up the AIG rank of 26.
"We wonder why they are removing experienced hands that would have helped him steer the police to greater heights.
"These officers that will be retired, are the last set of senior policemen that were trained abroad, or have gone for short courses.
So far, the list of retired senior police officers includes…
- Bala A Hassan
- Yahaya Garba Ardo
- Irmiya F Yarima
- Danladi Y Mshebwala
- Tambari Y. Mohammed
- Bala Magaji Nasarawa
- MUsa Abdulsalam
- Adisa Bolanta

One of the hallmarks of the Obama administration has been it's proclivity to attempt to blame everything on others. The administration's 'The Buck Stops There' mentality was on display yet again in the vice presidential debate. Here's VP Joe Biden trying to blame Republicans for the lack of security at the embassy in Benghazi, Libya:
"Number one, the — this lecture on embassy security — the congressman [Republican Paul Ryan] here cut embassy security in his budget by $300 million below what we asked for, number one. So much for the embassy security piece."
The implication is that, alas, the Obama administration WOULD have granted the repeated requests for more security at Benghazi, but those mean old Republicans cut the budget. I've heard many other Democrats attempting to cash in on this talking point over the past few days, such as Obama insider David Axelrod, who said:
'What do we need to do in the future to guard against this kind of a situation?' One thing we shouldn't do...is what Paul Ryan and the Republicans in Congress have suggested, which is to cut back on funding for the security of these facilities."
There's a huge problem with this shameless talking point. It is, as Biden would say, a bunch of malarkey, for the following reasons.
1) Funding for embassy security has increased greatly over the past several years.
From the above, State Dept. figures show that spending on embassy security has nearly doubled since 2007. So much for budget cuts.
2) Funding was not the issue regarding Benghazi security.
During last week's congressional hearings on the Benghazi attack, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Charlene Lamb specifically rejected the idea that budget cuts had anything to do with the Obama administration rejecting requests for more security:
"It has been suggested that budget cuts are responsible for a lack of security in Benghazi, and I'd like to ask Miss Lamb," said Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R., California). "You made this decision personally. Was there any budget consideration and lack of budget which lead you not to increase the number of people in the security force there?"
"No, sir," said [Charlene] Lamb.
Thus, we have yet another example of the BIG LIE coming from the White House about the Benghazi terrorist attack that left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Christopher Stephens.
Despite numerous incidients in Benghazi prior to the terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11, including two prior bomings of the U.S. consulate, the Obama administration claims it had no intelligence of a specific threat to the embassy, and the State Dept. denied repeated requests for additional Benghazi embassy security, even though after July when the British consulate closed, the U.S. embassy was the only western target left in Benghazi. The attack was entirely predicatble, and U.S. embassy personnel there knew it. Here's more testiimony from the congressional hearings:
The former regional security officer in Libya, Eric Nordstrom, recalled talking to a regional director and asking for twelve security agents.
"His response to that was, 'You are asking for the sun, moon and the stars.' And my response to him – his name was Jim – 'Jim, you know what makes most frustrating about this assignment? It is not the hardships, it is not the gunfire, it is not the threats. It is dealing and fighting against the people, programs and personnel who are supposed to be supporting me. And I added (sic) it by saying, 'For me the Taliban is on the inside of the building.'"
Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Wood, the commander of a Security Support Team (SST) sent home in August – against his wishes and, he says, the wishes of the late Ambassador Chris Stevens – said "we were fighting a losing battle. We couldn't even keep what we had."
Wood said that when he heard of the attack on the Benghazi post on September 11, it was "instantly recognizable" that it had been a terrorist attack. Why?
"Mainly because of my prior knowledge there," Wood said. "I almost expected the attack to come. We were the last flag flying. It was a matter of time."
The Obama administration has been deceptive about the Benghazi attack the entire time. FIrst, they blamed it on a spontaneous protest over a anti-Mohammed youtube trailer when there was no protest, only a planned terrorist attack. The White House stuck to the phony narrative long after they knew it wasn't true. Now they are trying to blame it on Republican budget cuts that were a non-factor. Obama's Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter even went so far as to say, "the entire reason this has become the political topic it is, is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan". Good lord. What is wrong with these people ? This was a serious national security failure, one that was entirely foreseeable, one that our embassy personnel saw coming. Our Ambassador and other Americans were murdered, and it seems the only thing the Obama administration is interested in is throwing sand in America's eyes until after the election. This behavior is shameful, and should not be tolerated.

Great favors! 4
Kendra (Hershey, PA), 10/12/2016
They were perfect for our women's event. At first I was a little concerned because they are more of a matte pearlized silver rather than metallic, but we put a different ribbon on the box so they didn't look so much like wedding favors!
Adorable Compact 5
Lorraine (Port Jefferson Station, NY), 9/13/2016

Tyler Gaffney's Versatility Could Help Patriots In Passing And Running Game
The New England Patriots' lack of urgency in finding a dependable replacement for Shane Vereen could be explained by two running backs who took a backseat in 2014. Most know about James White, the 2014 fourth-round draft pick who suited up for just three games and touched the ball 14 times last season, but the Patriots also have former Stanford Cardinal bell cow Tyler Gaffney...
Scouting The Cardinal: This isn't the Tyler Gaffney and Shane Skov show anymore
by Adam Vinton, from reader comments Against Oregon State, Stanford did the majority of their damage in the first half. They scored 10 points in the second. On offense, Stanford threw slants and misdirection at the defense. When ASU beat Stanford, their offense was what you typically think of when you think Stanford: run straight ahead and occasionally throw deep to keep the defense...

Issa received threats during trip to Libya, Egypt
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Darrell Issa was made aware of death threats directed toward him during a secretive, five-day trip to Libya and Egypt this week; he returned safely Thursday.
State Department officials learned of the threats to the Vista Republican through a Libyan national named Eyad who said, through a poor translation, that "all (Issa) gonna gained a several bullets in his smart skull," for his "false pretending investigation," according to an internal department email obtained by CBS News. Issa was notified Monday.
Eyad also warned the threats likely were from the same people who conducted the Benghazi attack last year. The threats to Issa were deemed general, and not specific.
Issa, accompanied by staff, met with U.S. Embassy officials. The contingent was small and the trip kept quiet because a larger delegation had been denied permission, said staff of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which Issa chairs.
The purpose was to focus on the "current preparedness and capabilities of the U.S. to respond to a future Benghazi-like attack on U.S. personnel in the region," said Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Issa. "He also inquired about current U.S. diplomatic efforts to hold the perpetrators of the Benghazi attack accountable and to ensure that a similar incident will not occur again."
On the House floor Thursday, Issa calledLibya's border regions a "concern for all of us" and a "lawless area," and said Benghazi would be the next "Afghanistan" if the United States didn't intervene.
"It is a training ground for insurgents – one of many," Issa said. "So when many talk in foreign policy about the Arab Spring, I'd like all America to understand … the Arab Spring is in fact sulfur water brewing from mosques, from terrorist strongholds, from ideological extremists."

Portugal Parties Fail to Reach Pact
President Set to Speak Sunday as Ruling Coalition Flounders
LISBON—Portugal's three main parties failed to agree on a "national salvation pact" to keep the country's international bailout on track, leaving the president to announce Sunday a new solution to a three-week long political crisis.
Among the options would be letting the weakened ruling coalition run the country or calling for immediate elections. Choosing the latter would come as a surprise, however, since President Aníbal Cavaco Silva warned only 10 days ago that would create instability and would most likely...

Old Rocky River Presbyterian Cemetery
Calhoun Falls, South Carolina
One of our most notable family lines with respect to the "pioneer heritage" was the Speer family. One of the best documented early Speer ancestor was William Speer, Sr. (1747-1830), who was born in Strebaul, County Antrim, Ireland. William's father was John William Speer (1723-1771), also an Irishman by birth, but who died in Georgia prior to the Revolutionary War. William, Sr. served several tours of duty in the War of Independence and his life is well documented by his son, William Speer, Jr. (1788-1877). See the Childress/Mathis Family Tree on Roots Web for notes on William Speer, Jr. and further information.
William Speer, Jr. and his family lived for most of their lives around the Calhoun Falls, South Carolina area. There are at least seven Speer interments in the "old" Rocky River Presbyterian Cemetery outside Calhoun Falls. For anyone who really wants a scavenger hunt, one should try to find this "old" Rocky River Cemetery! This cemetery, begun in the 1770's, was abandoned by the Rocky River Presbyterian Church when it moved to new quarters many decades ago. As of April 2004, there has been a renewed effort to maintain it, as the fresh 6″ diameter tree stumps will attest.

Big Picture Challenges - The Context
As part of our horizon scanning programme, the Department of Health (DH) commissioned the CfWI to identify the big picture challenges facing health, social care and public health, to draw out their workforce implications.
A big picture challenge is a fundamental challenge facing policymakers across the sector and requires focused action across politics, industry and research. The big picture challenges we have identified are facing the health, social care and public health systems.
We have identified four overarching categories: demographic and social, health and social care system design, quality and productivity, and finance and economic.
In these four categories the following 11 challenges were identified:
- planning to meet the needs of an ageing population with an ageing workforce
- managing changing demand resulting from an increasing prevalence of complex long-term conditions and co-morbidities
- managing changing public expectations about the care they receive
- achieving better integration between health, social care and support organisations
- shifting the focus of the system towards prevention and well-being
- delivering the personalisation agenda and providing person-centred care within financial constraints
- ensuring the system delivers high-quality services within financial constraints
- developing effective measures for quality of care and productivity and ensuring high-quality data is collected
- preparing for changes resulting from innovation and technology
- planning service delivery given the uncertainty about levels of funding in the future and how this will affect future demand for and supply of care services
- uncertainty about how investment in life science, health and care will support the UK economy.

An unusual and absorbing record of percussion and electronic improvisation from bassist and tape machine manipulator Chris Tarry and Vancouver drummer and samplist Dylan van der Schyff.
Tarry, Chris / Dylan van der Schyff
Label: Spool
Released in: Canada
"From a nether corner of the ambient world comes Sponge, a largely improvised and very eclectic take on the subject. The duet has conjured up a visceral sea of sound and imagination which is sometimes calming, sometimes disturbing, sometimes both at the same time. Don't mistake Sponge for another hypnotic, into-the-void wallpaper music CD. Sponge is too emphatic and embodies a greater musical presence than most ambient releases, largely owing to van der Schyff's deep background in improvised and new musics and to Tarry's multifaceted experience across the musical spectrum. 24 minutes of live improvised electronics."-Spool

Gwynn dies at age 54
SAN DIEGO — Tony Gwynn could handle a bat like few other major leaguers, whether it was driving the ball through the "5.5 hole" between third base and shortstop or hitting a home run off the facade in Yankee Stadium in the World Series.
He was a craftsman at the plate, whose sweet left-handed swing made him one of baseball's greatest hitters.
Gwynn loved San Diego.
San Diego loved "Mr. Padre" right back.
Gwynn, a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest athletes in San Diego's history, died Monday of oral cancer, a disease he attributed to years of chewing tobacco. He was 54.
"Our city is a little darker today without him but immeasurably better because of him," Mayor Kevin Faulconer said in a statement.
In a rarity in pro sports, Gwynn played his whole career with the Padres, choosing to stay in the city where he was a two-sport star in college, rather than leaving for bigger paychecks elsewhere. His terrific hand-eye coordination made him one of the game's greatest pure hitters. He had 3,141 hits — 18th on the all-time list — a career .338 average and won eight batting titles to tie Honus Wagner's NL record.
He struck out only 434 times in 9,288 career at-bats. He played in San Diego's only two World Series — batting a combined .371 — and was a 15-time All-Star. He had a memorable home run in Game 1 of the 1998 World Series off fellow San Diegan David Wells, and scored the winning run in the 1994 All-Star Game despite a bum knee.
Gwynn never hit below .309 in a full season. He spread out his batting titles from 1984, when he batted .351, to 1997, when he hit .372.
Gwynn was hitting .394 when a players' strike ended the 1994 season, denying him a shot at becoming the first player to hit .400 since San Diego native Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941.
Gwynn befriended Williams and the two loved to talk about hitting. Gwynn steadied Williams when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the 1999 All-Star Game at Boston's Fenway Park.
Fellow Hall of Famer Greg Maddux tweeted, "Tony Gwynn was the best pure hitter I ever faced! Condolences to his family."
Gwynn was known for his hearty laugh and warm personality. Every day at 4 p.m., Gwynn sat in the Padres' dugout and talked baseball or anything else with the media.
Tim Flannery, who was teammates with Gwynn on the Padres' 1984 World Series team and later was on San Diego's coaching staff, said he'll "remember the cackle to his laugh. He was always laughing, always talking, always happy."
"The baseball world is going to miss one of the greats, and the world itself is going to miss one of the great men of mankind," said Flannery, the San Francisco Giants' third base coach. "He cared so much for other people. He had a work ethic unlike anybody else, and had a childlike demeanor of playing the game just because he loved it so much."
Gwynn had been on a medical leave since late March from his job as baseball coach at San Diego State, his alma mater. He died at a hospital in suburban Poway, agent John Boggs said.
"He was in a tough battle and the thing I can critique is he's definitely in a better place," Boggs said. "He suffered a lot. He battled. That's probably the best way I can describe his fight against this illness he had, and he was courageous until the end."
Gwynn's wife, Alicia, and other family members were at his side when he died, Boggs said.
Gwynn's son, Tony Jr., was with the Philadelphia Phillies, who later placed him on the bereavement list.
"Today I lost my Dad, my best friend and my mentor," Gwynn Jr. tweeted. "I'm gonna miss u so much pops. I'm gonna do everything in my power to continue to … Make u proud!"
Gwynn had two operations for cancer in his right cheek between August 2010 and February 2012. The second surgery was complicated, with surgeons removing a facial nerve because it was intertwined with a tumor inside his right cheek. They grafted a nerve from Gwynn's neck to help him eventually regain facial movement.
Gwynn had been in and out of the hospital and had spent time in a rehab facility, Boggs said.
"For more than 30 years, Tony Gwynn was a source of universal goodwill in the national pastime, and he will be deeply missed by the many people he touched," Commissioner Bud Selig said.
Fans paid their respects by visiting the statue of Gwynn on a grassy knoll just beyond the outfield at Petco Park.
Gwynn was last with his San Diego State team on March 25 before beginning a leave of absence. His Aztecs rallied around a Gwynn bobblehead doll they would set near the bat rack during games, winning the Mountain West Conference tournament and advancing to the NCAA regionals.
Last week, SDSU announced it was extending Gwynn's contract one season. The Aztecs play at Tony Gwynn Stadium, which was built in the mid-1990s with a $4 million donation by then-Padres owner John Moores.
Gwynn was born in Los Angeles on May 9, 1960, and attended high school in Long Beach.
He was a two-sport star at San Diego State in the late 1970s and early 1980s, playing point guard for the basketball team — he still holds the game, season and career record for assists — and in the outfield on the baseball team.
Gwynn always wanted to play in the NBA, until realizing during his final year at San Diego State that baseball would be the ticket to the pros.
He was drafted by both the Padres (third round) and San Diego Clippers (10th round) on the same day in 1981.
After spending parts of just two seasons in the minor leagues, he made his big league debut on July 19, 1982. Gwynn had two hits that night. After Gwynn hit a double, all-time hits leader Pete Rose, who been trailing the play, said to him: "Hey, kid, what are you trying to do, catch me in one night?"
In a career full of highlights, Gwynn had his 3,000th hit on Aug. 9, 1999, a first-inning single to right field at Montreal's Olympic Stadium.
Gwynn retired after the 2001 season and became a volunteer assistant coach at SDSU in 2002. He took over as head coach after that season.
He and Cal Ripken Jr. — who spent his entire career with the Baltimore Orioles — were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007.
"I had no idea that all the things in my career were going to happen," Gwynn said shortly before being inducted. "I sure didn't see it. I just know the good Lord blessed me with ability, blessed me with good eyesight and a good pair of hands, and then I worked at the rest."
Gwynn also is survived by a daughter, Anisha.
Boggs said services were pending.

(hearing sobbing through a wall) all day she sobs
the first sound i hear when i wake up is her sobbing
my body feels burdened and hot
this how i begin my mornings
(crying and slamming) all day she throws tantrums
screaming and crying i know shes in pain
i know she suffering though i don't know why
for the the rest of the afternoon i see her sit down and waiting to die
her body is frail sick
freedom from around her is all i wish
(hearing Sobbing and someone praying for God through a wall ) She prays
She is always praying!
but to who? to what? sometimes i wonder
does he not hear her cries?
can he not see her decaying?!
Jesus Christ ! the sight of seeing your mother deteriorating
its soul fading
(breathing) watching her breathe
as child I watched her breathed not being able to think of a life without her
not ever thinking she would ever die
but honestly speaking
saying I want her to stay here
is a lie
i know she is in pain i know she suffering
its breaking my heart watching her die.
God look down and have mercy on her she prays to worship you
even though you ignore her
relieve her from her suffering an give her one more chance
so i can live one more happy well day with her again.

Not me who has it but Jane and she has taken her first steps to be fully cured. Today as park of her own Christmas present to herself she took the plunge & got a rather nice & techy Digital Camera & Sub-dye Printer Dock. I'm very imrpessed with it as a whole package & now she can call her own digital camera her own (instead of me having to use mine & take photos for her) I was at the time looking for a photoprinter for myself and was in doubt of either a real photo paper/sub-dye or a pretend photopaper/ink jet, both have pro's & cons but got to say the sub-dye make much better & vibrant photo's. I've had to teach her on the use of the entire equipment as myself had to learn some new techy stuff, but now got it sorted to print from Jane's docked camera, usb memory stick, my camera (via usb), PC and bluetooth wireless from PC. Just got to see how to set up to see if Jane can print from Mobile phone bluetooth as the manual doesn't say if it does or not.

Albert Durer, the most celebrated artist of Germany, was born at Nuremberg, 21st May 1471. His father was a goldsmith, and he carefully trained his son, and instructed him in his own craft. But the youth showed greater inclination for painting, and in very early years had already attained considerable artistic skill, as is proved by such drawings as the portrait of himself at the age of thirteen, now in the Albertina Collection, Vienna. He was accordingly apprenticed to Michael Wolgemut, the best painter in the town at the time, and the chief illustrator of the famous Nuremberg Chronicle.
After serving his time under this master, Michael Wolgemut, Durer started on his travels in 1490; and there is reason to believe that he found his way to Italy and visited Venice. On his return his father arranged a marriage for him with Agnes Frey, the daughter of a Nuremberg merchant. It has been constantly asserted that the union was an unhappy one, but Thausing, Durer's most accurate biographer, has shown reason for believing that the letter of Pirkheimer, written two years after the painter's death, upon which this statement is founded, should be received with great caution. Durer now established himself in his native town; and, largely aided by such assistants as Hans Leonhard Schaufelein, Hans Baldung, and Hans von Kulmbach, he executed many paintings, among which the triptych in the Royal Gallery, Dresden, and the fine Paumgartner altarpiece in the Pinakothek, Munich, may be named.
In 1498 he published his first great series of designs on wood, the illustrations of the Apocalypse, which, it seems to be now generally admitted, were, like the rest of Durer's work of the kind, cut upon the block by a professional engraver. The copper-plates of this period include 'The Prodigal Son,' assigned to 1500; the ' Shield of the Death's Head' (1503); the 'Shield with the Lion and Cock,' assigned to the same year, and in technique one of his most accomplished engravings; and the ' Adam and Eve ' (1504). In 1504 he completed his ' Adoration of the Kings,' begun in tempera and finished in oils, now in Florence; and the elaborate copper-plate of ' St Eustachius ' probably dates from the same time.
In 1505 Durer visited Venice, with the view of arresting the piracy of his works by Marc Antonio, who had copied, line for line upon copper, certain of his woodcuts of the 'Life of the Virgin,' which had been executed previous to this date, though the completed work was not issued till 1511. Here he produced the 'Feast of the Rose-garlands,' now in the monastery of Stradow, near Prague, of which he writes : ' I have also silenced the painters, who said I was a good engraver, but did not know how to manage colors. . . . There is not a better picture of the Virgin in the land.' On his return he painted his 'Adam and Eve' (1507), now in the Pitti, Florence; and his 'Assumption of the Virgin,' a work executed with unusual care and elaboration, as is indicated by the painter's correspondence, and proved by the very numerous studies for its various parts which still exist. The central portion of this altar-piece, executed entirely by his own hand, was destroyed by fire in 1674. It was followed in l511 by the All Saints' picture, styled ' The Adoration of the Trinity,' in the Imperial Gallery, Vienna.
Durer was much employed by the Emperor Maximilian I., of whom he executed several portraits, for whose prayer-book he designed a famous senes of decorations, and in whose honor he drew the ' Triumphal Car' and the ' Triumphal Arch,' which were engraved on wood, the latter on ninety-two blocks, which when united form a surface 11 feet 3 inches by 10 feet wide the largest known woodcut.
It was after the death of the emperor, and in order to recover sums due for his commissions, that the painter visited the Netherlands in 1520. His curious journal of the expedition has been preserved and published. At Antwerp he made the acquaintance of Erasmus, whose portrait he drew, and
afterwards engraved on copper, and he was present at the coronation of Charles V., who appointed him his court-painter; but among the swamps of Zealand he seems to have contracted a kind of low fever, and his health gradually failed, till he died at Nuremberg, 6th April 1528. During his later years the earnest and reverent-minded painter manifested great sympathy with the doctrines and progress of the Reformation; his journal in the Netherlands contains an impassioned outburst of grief, occasioned by the supposed death of Luther ; and in 1526 he presented to the council of his native town a pair of companion panels, representing St John with St Peter, and St Paul with St Mark, inscribed with warning texts from Luther's translation of the Epistles.
Both upon technical and intellectual grounds Durer ranks as the greatest of German artists of the Renaissance; and his work is thoroughly national in character, fully expressive of all the homeliness and all the mysticism of German culture during that epoch. His paintings are distinguished by effective composition, careful manipulation, and forcible coloring; and that searching grasp of character and expression which renders his work in portraiture so valuable gives a sense of truth and reality to his subject-pictures also. His 'Four Apostles,' above referred to, and now at Munich, are interesting as exhibiting the final development of his pictorial style, being far broader in handling and larger in the disposition of the draperies than his earlier works. His masterly drawings and studies are very numerous, and are to be found in most public collections, those of the Albertina, in Vienna, and of the British Museum, London, being the richest.
As an engraver on metal and a designer of woodcuts Durer ranks even higher, and has certainly been more widely influential than as a painter. His work on copper and on wood is distinguished by the most unerring perception of the capabilities of his material, his metal-plates being executed with extreme finish and refinement, the burin being handled in a manner exceptionally free and painter-like; while his woodcuts are boldly drawn with a broad expressive line, such as could be easily followed by the engraver employed to cut the block. The most celebrated of his copper-plates, which number over 100, are those mentioned above; the 'Little Passion,' on copper (16 plates, 1508-13); 'St Jerome in his Study' (1514); and the 'Melancolia' (1514), and the 'Knight, Death, and the Devil' (1513)—two great imaginative designs, which are so filled with mysterious and poetic suggestiveness as to be susceptible of the most diverse interpretations. Durer may also be regarded as the inventor of etching, as he produced several plates in which all the lines are bitten with acid, as well as others in which the process is used in preparation for work with the burin. His woodcuts are about 200 in number, including the 'Greater Passion,' 12 subjects; ' The Little Passion,' on wood, 37 subjects; ' The Apocalypse,' 16 subjects; and many single prints of religious, mythological, portrait, and heraldic designs. It has been asserted that Durer executed several plastic works. The finest of these is the 'Birth of St John the Baptist,' a relief on soap-stone in the British Museum; but Thausing regards this and all similar works as spurious. Durer was also author of various scientific writings, of which the Instructions in Measurement (1525), the Treatise on Fortification (1527), and the Treatise on Human Proportion (1528) are most important.
See Lives by W. B. Seott (1872), Mrs Heaton (1872), Thausing (2d ed. 1884; trans. by Eaton, 1882); the French work of Ephrussi (1882); the German Life by A. von Eye (1882); Knackfuss, Durer und Holbein (1895); and the monograph by Lionel Cust (1897). The standard editions of the prose writings are those by Jansen
(Alb. Duereri Opera, 1603) and by Lange and Fuhse (1893); an abridged English translation of them was published by Sir W. M. Conway in 1889. Reproductions of his metal engravings were published by Amand-Durand of Paris, and of his woodcuts of his ' Apocalypse' and 'Life of the Virgin,' by Van de Weijer of Utrecht. Thirty-three of the thirty-seven blocks of his 'Lesser Passion,' on wood, are preserved in the British Museum, and stereotype reproductions of these were issued in 1844 and succeeding years.
This article was adapted from an entry on Durer in the Chamber's Cyclopedia, 1900. Some of the locations of Durer's works may have changed since then.include("http://www.durergallery.com/ssi-responsive/bottom.html"); ?>
