Expert comment: In royal and aristocratic families in the past, boys lived and studied alongside girls, and wore dresses. The age at which a boy transitioned to male clothing varied across different centuries, ranging from 7 to 12 years old, reflecting the ❯❯❯
Great selection! However, Im curious if the album will be updated with more reproductions, as it doesnt seem to include the entire Versailles collection.
Its a very beautiful portrait, with excellent drawing, technique, and color palette. It strongly resembles the portraits of his contemporary, Largillière. ❯❯❯
Considering that Delian (or Delin) was one of Larjillers best students, this is not surprising. Thanks to this portrait, he was accepted into the Academy. Unfortunately, his works are very rare. It makes one wonder if many paintings by the student are now ❯❯❯
I agree with the previous opinions. However, I would like to express a complaint to the website developers regarding the fact that the works of such outstanding portrait artists as Larivière, Rigaud, Tocque, Natte, and others are so sparingly represented o ❯❯❯
I am delighted as I immerse myself in the history of Europe from bygone eras and the time of Napoleon, admiring masterpieces of painting from centuries past. ❯❯❯
It seems to me that this grey wolf really wants to eat the unfortunate, defenseless sheep, and I have a feeling that his intentions towards it are not entirely pure. ❯❯❯
A very beautiful and striking portrait. The image of the great military leader is elevated and majestic; his entire demeanor seems to say, The Ukrainian Nazis will not rest until we bury them. ❯❯❯
What a beauty! A wonderful portrait... I always want to say thank you to the portrait artists for the joy of seeing the faces of people who are long gone. ❯❯❯
I keep thinking the same thing: I take translating artwork titles and writing the names of their authors extremely seriously, but from time to time I see that my work irritates someone, and they periodically delete it. I cant understand why and for what pu ❯❯❯
My work is almost pointless because some energetic people already know everything without me and create what they believe to be true. They dont use reference materials or verified sources, confident in their own infallibility. The reason for their overconf ❯❯❯
I am correcting inaccuracies and various minor errors in the final versions of the painting titles and their attributions, as far as I understand. In my opinion, this is only beneficial for the album, because even a small flaw can spoil the whole thing. We ❯❯❯
I fix the errors and mistakes in the album, but well-meaning people immediately reintroduce them due to their incompetence and overconfidence. Its sad, but its a fact. ❯❯❯
For the umpteenth time, I am filled with immense gratitude to the creators of this album and all the others. I am 77 years old, and I am grateful for the opportunity to use my knowledge, experience, and love of painting to benefit people. ❯❯❯
Its quite common to have to correct the mistakes of translators who may not be very knowledgeable but are overly confident. Honestly, Im amazed by their lack of self-criticism and their indifference towards the website visitors, who are not required to kno ❯❯❯
I can only repeat: the final decision on the title of a painting is made without proper analysis, and therefore, in my opinion, often not the best (most appropriate to the original) title is chosen. ❯❯❯
Im trying to understand why accurate translations of artwork titles are so often replaced with incorrect or imprecise ones. I rigorously check my own translation options for artwork titles using my extensive library, but if I still have doubts, I leave the ❯❯❯
I see again and again that the correct translation is repeatedly replaced with an incorrect one. I understand that the editor does not have the necessary literature to check their own work. This is quite unfortunate, but its like crying out in the wilderne ❯❯❯
Over the years of interacting with this website, I have come to realize that whenever possible, you tend to choose a translation of an artworks title that is suggested by someone WITHIN your group, rather than by an outsider. The level and quality of the t ❯❯❯
In this case, introduces is more suitable. A verb in the Russian title is better than a participle. Also, there isnt Russian army in the original; it specifically mentions Cossacks. Why do you suggest changing it to Russian army? ❯❯❯
Im not thinking, Im grieving over the fact that my Sisyphean labor of meticulously checking names and titles will be ignored by some kind of cleaner who only knows one thing: they must restore the original spelling of names and titles, because no one can b ❯❯❯
Apparently, writing without a hyphen is outdated: https://g.co/kgs/DCBi8s https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Мария-Антуанетта Current sources agree on using the hyphen.Or should we still trust the Soviet dictionary? Then why? ❯❯❯
Im pretty sure Ive already said everything that needed to be said without offending anyone. And theres no point in saying anything that might hurt or upset someone. Thats all there is to it, and I appreciate the opportunity to have said what I did. ❯❯❯
Its too early for negative thoughts to accumulate. The principle of this site is that you can only trust your own, and others will inevitably cause problems. However, due to the lack of strict and appropriate criteria for correctness, errors are inevitable ❯❯❯
Without the help of relevant books, reference materials, and catalogs, it is difficult or impossible to accurately translate the names of authors and titles of paintings, taking into account linguistic and factual nuances. Working on this website is not a ❯❯❯
Those who created this wonderful website are not very interested in the accuracy of translating artwork titles. They lack the books and albums that would broaden their horizons, so they tend to trust only themselves, and they dont trust outsiders like me ( ❯❯❯
And what if its Jean-Pierre or Jean-Baptiste? With a hyphen, its a double name; without a hyphen, its two separate names. In the original, Pierre-Denis has a hyphen. http://forum.gramota.ru/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5623 ❯❯❯

A wonderful gift for the New Year! Thank you, Gallerix, there will be something to do on weekends.
Great selection! However, Im curious if the album will be updated with more reproductions, as it doesnt seem to include the entire Versailles collection.
The album is amazing! The battle paintings are superb: great masters, beautiful painting, huge canvases! Thank you!
Note regarding the album title: The Palace of Versailles is not located in Paris, but in Versailles.
How to say it, how to say it. Nowadays, Versailles is considered a suburb of Paris.
