Pierre-Joseph Redouté was a French artist and botanist of Belgian origin, a royal painter and lithographer.
Redouté traveled extensively from his youth and carefully studied the pictorial art of various masters, but his main interest eventually became botanical illustration. He gained access to the Botanical Gardens in Paris and the botanical library. Over time, the talented Redouté became a very popular and successful painter of flowers and plants, publishing more and more albums.
In the 1790s, Redouté was internationally recognized as one of the most popular floral artists in the world. His depictions of plants are still as fresh as if they had just been painted. His album of watercolor illustrations, The Lilies, is one of the most expensive printed books in history.
Henri Eugène Le Sidaner was a French painter known for his intimate, atmospheric landscapes and still-life paintings. He was born in Port Louis, Mauritius, but grew up in northern France and studied art at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
Le Sidaner's early work was influenced by the Impressionists, but he later developed his own distinctive style characterized by a subdued palette, soft brushwork, and a focus on capturing the effects of light and atmosphere. His paintings often depict gardens, parks, and rural landscapes, as well as interiors and still-life arrangements.
Le Sidaner was also known for his use of light and shadow, which he used to create a sense of depth and mood in his paintings. He was particularly interested in the way that light and shadow interacted in interior spaces, and many of his paintings depict quiet, contemplative scenes bathed in a soft, diffuse light.
Le Sidaner's work was widely exhibited during his lifetime, and he received many awards and honors, including the Legion of Honor in France. His paintings are now included in many important collections, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
George Washington is the first popularly elected president of the United States of America and one of the founding fathers of the United States.
Born into a noble family in colonial Virginia in February 1732, George Washington served as a Virginian officer with British troops during the French-Indian War (1754-1763) from 1754-1758. This was a territorial war fought largely between the colonies of Britain and France that escalated into a worldwide conflict between the two countries. J. Washington was at the center of the conflicts in the disputed Ohio River Valley area.
In June 1775, he was elected commander-in-chief of the Continental forces in the war already for independence from Great Britain. He commanded American troops throughout the war, becoming famous for his perseverance and bravery.
In 1787, J. Washington represented the state of Virginia as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. This convention created the Constitution of the United States. In 1789, the Electoral College unanimously elected George Washington president, and in 1792 he was re-elected for a second term. Thus George Washington was in office as President of the United States from April 30, 1789 to March 4, 1797.
As head of state, he helped to strengthen the Union, implement the principles of the Constitution and build the capital of the United States. He was engaged in the formation of the central authorities and system of government, created precedents for the institution of presidents, encouraged the development of the economy, maintained friendly relations with Congress. In foreign policy Washington avoided interference in the affairs of European states.
After leaving the post of president, George Washington lived in Mount Vernon Manor.
