The following is the original explanation of the flower mosaic :
Les progrès du 20e siècle
La mosaïque florale est l'art d'utiliser les végétaux pour composer des motifs précis. Son origine vient très probablement des parterres de broderie végétale des jardins de la Renaissance.
Cette mosaïque de l'an 2000 présente quelques avancées marquantes du siècle qui s'achève : la conquête de l'espace, l'électricité, le téléphone, l'aviation, l'environnement, l'atome, la mécanique et l'automobile. Sa composition a nécessité plus de 4000 plantes.
L'entretien, le nettoyage et la taille des plantes, ont lieu tous les 10 jours afin de maintenir la qualité visuelle des motifs.
The progress of the 20th century
The flower mosaic is the art to utilise the vegetation in order to compose precise motifs / pictures. It probably has its origin in the flower beds of the plant-embroidery of the botanical gardens of the Renaissance.
This mosaic of the year 2000 presents some striking advances of this century which is about to end: the conquest of space, electricity, the telephone, aviation, the environment, the atom, mechanics and the automobile. More than 4000 plants were needed for its composition.
The preservation, the cleaning and the 'styling' of the plants takes place every 10th day in order to maintain the visual quality of the motif / picture.
The Stanislas square of the XVIII-th century, is one of the most impressive sights of the city. It is surrounded by architectural ensembles. There are the Museum of fine arts in one of the buildings of ensemble. The museum was reconstructed, there is the exposition of pictures of Delacroix, Monet, Manet, Modigliani. The square divides the city at the old and new parts.
There is a museum of "The school of Nancy". The products of an applied art created on boundary XIX - XX centuries by artists and masters of "The school of Nancy" (one of the directions of a modernist style most known in France) are collected there. A significant place in a collection occupy works from glass by Emil Halle. He was the founder of "The school of Nancy".
This church was built at the beginning of the 18th century and became the cathedral in 1777, after Stanislas had died. Do have a closer look at the beautiful organ and the painted cuppola with 150 biblical figures, the Holy Trinity and the Doctors of the Church! Amazing!
A Portuguese that we met in Vannes-le-Chatel, advised us that we should try to visit this house.
We went there, but unfortunately, it was not opened to the public, demanding a previous booking (attention!).
We appreciated it from outside, and realized that it is mainly a symbol, because, all around it, there are many other beautiful samples of Nancy School of Art.
