Parlem de Pintura...
Édouard Louis Dubufe (Paris, 31 de març de 1819 - Versailles, 11 d'agost de 1883) va ser un pintor francès. Es va formar amb el seu pare Claude Marie Paul Dubufe abans d'estudiar amb Paul Delaroche a l'École des Beaux-arts de París. El 1839 va rebre la seva primera medalla al Salon des Artistes Français. El 1842 es va casar amb Juliette Zimmermann, la filla del compositor i pianista Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmermann. La seva carrera va experimentar un canvi important a partir del 1848, any que va viatjar a Anglaterra, on va conèixer els pintors de retrats. Ràpidament, va procurar emular l'art anglès fent el seu debut com a pintor professional el 1853 amb dos retrats de l'emperador Napoleò III i de l'emperadriu Eugènia. El seu èxit fou reconegut el 1856 amb l'encàrrec de realitzar una pintura de gran format pel Congrés de París. La resta de la seva vida va gaudir del reconeixement de l'aristocràcia rebent nombrosos encàrrecs, especialment retrats. El seu fill Guillaume Dubufe va ser també pintor. Édouard Louis Dubufe va morir a Versalles l'agost de 1883.
Parlem de Música...
Stanisław Moniuszko (Ubiel, 5 de maig de 1819 - Warszawa, 4 de juny de 1872) va ser un compositor i director d'orquestra polonès. Va néixer en una família szlachta a l'extrem est de la Polònia dividida i va mostrar, des de petit, un gran interès per la música. El 1837 va començar a estudiar composició a Berlín amb Karl Rungenhagen, qui també el va instruir en direcció coral. Després de la seva estada a Berlín, va obtenir un càrrec com a organista a Wilno. Durant aquesta època, va fer amistat amb el novel·lista Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski i el dramaturg i satirista Aleksander Fredro, que van estimular l'interès de Moniuszko per la música dramàtica. Al voltant de 1840, va començar a compondre de manera intensiva, produint les seves primeres òperes i altres obres per a l'escena, així com cantates sacres i profanes i nombroses misses. Al llarg de la seva vida, va viatjar sovint a Sant Petersburg, on la seva música va gaudir d'una bona acollida. Allà, Mikhaïl Glinka i Aleksandr Dargomijski van fer palesa la seva admiració pel talent de Moniuszko. També va conèixer a Mili Balakirev i Modest Mússorgski, i el seu estil va ser apreciat per Hans von Bülow. Va ser mentor, entre altres, de César Cui. Stanisław Moniuszko va morir a Varsòvia el juny de 1872.
