MRS DUCHESNEY MYSTERIES Francesca's Story - The Interview

MRS DUCHESNEY MYSTERIES Francesca's Story - The Interview

Peggy Kopman-Owens

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
Mystery. Suspense. International Intrigue. Noir Romance. People often ask me, "How did Mrs. Duchesney become a famous Paris sleuth?" I tell them it should have been easy to predict that Francine Robinsworth Duchesney would find success doing something unexpected of a young woman from a small town in the American Midwest. For you see, she had never been what others in that part of the world might call "normal." When I came to Paris in search of Mrs. Duchesney, a person described to me as the legendary Paris Sleuth Extraordinaire, I did not imagine her to be the unassuming little woman seated alone on a bench in Parc Montsouris. There was nothing extraordinary about this vaguely fashionable bundle of clothes, whose face was hidden beneath a hat and eyeglasses. Born with an exceptional curiosity, in a small town jam-packed with well-preserved century-old mysteries, where indiscretions lined cellars and attics like jars of last year's apricots, Francine found no lie was so well constructed, no secret so well kept, no treasure so deeply buried that she could not discover it. My interviews with Mrs. Duchesney would be the focus of my first year in Paris. After that, I was completely seduced by the woman and the city, forgetting the reason I had come there and finding new reasons to stay.

Piero della Francesca and the Invention of the Artist

Piero della Francesca and the Invention of the Artist

Machtelt Brüggen Israëls

Reaktion Books

sidottu
As one of the most innovative and enlightened painters of the early Italian Renaissance, Piero della Francesca brought space, luminosity and unparalleled subtlety to painting. In addition, Piero invented the role of the modern artist by becoming a traveller, a courtier, a geometrician, a patron and much else besides.In this nuanced account of his life and art, Machtelt Brüggen Israëls reconstructs how Piero came of age. Successfully demystifying the persistent notion of Piero’s art as enigmatic, she reveals the simple and stunning intentions behind his work.

Piero della Francesca and the Baptism of the New World

Piero della Francesca and the Baptism of the New World

Sandra Marraghini

Pertinent Press
2020
sidottu
Piero della Francesca and the Baptism of the New World reveals that heliocentrism, the modern day planetary system and the existence of the American continent is referred to in Piero's work. As a new age was dawning for humankind, these revolutionary ideas were suspected before their official discoveries and were kept secret due to them confuting the dogma and beliefs of the Church and the powerful. Indeed, as late ast the 17th century, Galileo was jailed for his heliocentric ideas... Professor Sandra Marraghini's deductions lead us along the same path that Piero della Francesca started 600 years ago to transfer his knowledge to those who could receive it and could pass it on to future generations. Through the study of symbols, syllogisms and characters, the analysis of the elements of geometrical and mathematical balance and the observation of starry skies, we finally find the key to the messages hidden in the works of Piero della Francesca. The author's research and findings raise questions as to certain facts and dates of history, particularly the discovery of America. Analysing the writings of Piero's disciple, mathematician Luca Pacioli, Professor Marraghini concludes that Piero's death coinciding with the discovery of America (12 October 1492) is almost certainly fake news. With the altered date of Piero's death, his contemporaries probably intended to hide and protect the truth that he was trying to convey: the route to America was known in the first half of Renaissance (by Piero himself), so much earlier than the voyages of Columbus.
