1) “A Burial At Ornans”. About forty peasant mourners are depicted in this painting by the French painter Gustave Courbet. This work was done between 1849 and1850‚ around the period of the 1848 French revolution where art became oppositional to the idealistic portrayals of society.

The Beach The smell of salt in the air‚ the wind blistering my face‚ the sun glinting in my eyes; these are some of my favorite things about the beach. I have always loved the beach and I have always love the sights and smells of it. The first thing I always notice when I first step out of the car‚ even when it’s only at the beach house and not the actual beach‚ the smell of seaweed and salt immediately attacks my nostrils. No smell is as potently sweet as the sour smell of the ocean
