== Foxley Hall, Bramshill ==

Here's an article I found:  [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13127143 BBC article about Foxley Hall].  --[[Special:Contributions/108.45.72.196|108.45.72.196]] ([[User talk:108.45.72.196|talk]]) 17:45, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

:I made a half-hearted effort to find out more about the history of Foxley Hall and didn't discover anything.  It may be like trying to find out about a building on the CIA campus here in northern Virginia—the info just isn't public info.  --[[Special:Contributions/108.45.72.196|108.45.72.196]] ([[User talk:108.45.72.196|talk]]) 15:54, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

::The building seems to be in the style of some government buildings built to resist car bomb attacks- the County Court building in [[Leicester]] has miniature [[glacis]] and "ditch".

== [[Alexander Roslin]] ==

Thanks for working on it, Xanthomelanoussprog. You know, this article wasn't much [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Alexander_Roslin&diff=prev&oldid=594423712]  for about two days ago. Do you think it could be possible to nominate as a DYK, as an expanded article? Well just an idea. Maybe it is not possible...

:No problem! Interesting artist, who I've never heard of! I've thought and thought, and I can't think of a DYK hook yet. [[User:Xanthomelanoussprog|Xanthomelanoussprog]] ([[User talk:Xanthomelanoussprog#top|talk]]) 15:43, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Well - did you know =  :- that court  painter Roslin  self portrait has the Swedish king in the background. :-than court  painter Roslin was  from the begining studying to naval draughtsman,  :- that his wife was also an artist? :- that his wife was was denied to him from the begining because he was lutheran.. (that part is from the wifes article, but can be added) ... and so on. Some of it might work? [[User:Hafspajen|Hafspajen]] ([[User talk:Hafspajen|talk]]) 17:48, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
::::DYK... that the painter Roslin turned down an offer from Catherine the Great? Otherwise I'm stumped- the double portrait with his wife seems to have possibilities, but for the life of me I can't express anything simply. Maybe it's the first time in history that someone did an oil painting of someone doing a pastel drawing.

:::::DYK that the painter Roslin turned down an offer from Catherine the Great? sounds sexy enough,...

:::How about [http://artdaily.com/news/66722/Sweden-s-Nationalmuseum-acquires-family-portrait-painted-in-1767-by-Alexander-Roslin#.UvOG8XmTTWc] '' '''As a token of the resulting close friendship, Roslin painted the portrait of himself and his wife, Marie Suzanne Giroust, at the easel working on a pastel of Peill'''. The painting was produced toward the end of Peill’s visit. '''The portrait within the portrait has never been found''', but several copies exist of an earlier version produced by Marie Suzanne Giroust the previous year. '''The gold box housing the miniature portrait that Roslin is pointing at is part of the rebus'''-like nature of the painting and may have been a lavish farewell gift from Peill. The inscription on the frame, Loin et près (“Far away and [yet] close”), makes it clear that the portrait was indeed a token of friendship. Peill most likely acquired the painting that same year or in the years that immediately followed. Shortly after his return to Sweden, he married Anna Johanna Grill the younger, daughter of the late Claes Grill the elder, former director of the Swedish East India Company. The evidence suggests that the younger woman portrayed in miniature on the gold box in the painting is Miss Grill, while the older woman is probably her mother, Anna Johanna the elder.''

== Hello, I put up 4 new original documents ==

Hello, Xanthomelanoussprog, I took pictures of 4 new documents, which I own, about the arbitration. They give the correct amount of funding that was disrupted, $160,000, so I changed that. They also give the date the arbitration decision was handed down, June 12, 1972, so I included that. See references 12, 13, 14, 15, and the first paragraph of End of the Orchestra. I also changed the spelling of flautist Harold Jones to flutist Harold Jones. I trust my way of putting in the references is completely incorrect, but I hope these documents add to the story.

Sound effects of battle sounds add to the mood of the scene. Roubaud was born in Russia, but studied art in Munich. He went on to create a number of enormous panoramas of battle scenes including the Siege of Sevastopol and Russo-Persian War, and this depiction of the Battle or Borodino, which opened in Russia on August 29, 1912 in honor of the centennial of the fight. Panoramas were enormously popular throughout Europe and the United States in the 19th century, with epic battles being amongst the most popular subjects. Near the museum at a mass-grave memorial, visitors can pay their respects to 300 Russian soldiers who lost their lives in that battle.

The panorama depicts the Battle of Borodino of 1812, and was painted by the artist Franz Roubaud. It is 115 metres long, and is accompanied by sound effects of warfare. The Borodino panorama was opened to the public on 29 August 1912- the centenary of the battle. The building which houses it is located close to a mass grave of 300 of the Russian soldiers killed in the battle, which involved 250,000 combatants and resulted in 70,000 casualties.

The Russian artist Franz Roubaud studied art in Munich. Roubaud created many battle panoramas, including ones of the Siege of Sevastopol, and the Russo-Persian War.

''Born in Odessa in the family of a French merchant , who settled in the Russian Empire. He studied at the Odessa Drawing School ( 1865 - one thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven ), and one thousand eight hundred seventy-eight - one thousand eight hundred eighty-three  - at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts .''
 
He specialized in painting battle, incidentally (and many of battle at the time) turned to art shyrokoohopnyh panoramas, giving thanks to the combination of three-dimensional picture of the layout, the illusion of a historical event that takes place in front of the viewer. After returning to Russia received from the Tiflis Museum "Temple of Glory" order for a series of paintings on the history of the Caucasian War . In these works written in 1 885 - one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five  years., scale the result of his studies was Caucasian panorama "Sturm village Ahulgo "( 1890 ), first shown at the Art and Industrial Exhibition in Nizhny Novgorod ( 1896 , survived only a few fragments remain today in local history Museum Makhachkala ).
 
Zaporizhzhya Cossacks attacking Franz Roubaud 
One thousand nine hundred and two - 1904  - under his leadership in the suburbs of Munich, a group of German artists created panorama "Defense of Sevastopol" (opened in 1905 in Sevastopol in the summary for her building).
 
Another known its views of a "Borodinskaya battle." Work on it was in the same conditions, with I. H.M'yasoyedova and consultant BM Kolyubakyna (opened in 1912 in a special pavilion on Clean pond in Moscow , after a long restoration recreated it in 1962 in a new building on Kutuzov Avenue).
 
Among the typical battle paintings Roubaud - "Attack Novocherkassk regiment in the battle on the river Shah" ( 1907 ) and "The Battle of Borodino" ( 1913 , both - in Artillery Historical Museum, St. Petersburg).
 
Since 1903  - Professor battle head shops Academy of Art (among his pupils was M.Hrekov). 1912  - finally settled in Germany.

After five times, you can still nominate articles made  by others; but in order to nominate yours you have to review others - that means: going there, pick up a nomination, check everything and be nasty with the poor guy as soon you find the smalles wrongdoing. It is power - and one have to kick everybody hard in the as as soon as possible you find something - it is part of the game nowadays. 
: Until then. (as it follows)
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Did_you_know This ] is the place you add your nomination, when ready. 
You create a nomination by using the page or much simpler, from here. Make a red link: [[Template:Did you know nominations/View from the Artist's Window]].
*In this case [[Template:Did you know nominations/Niagara Falls, from the American Side]].
:Now push the darned red red link and put inside the folowing text :

Then fill the template out like this:



<nowiki>{{subst:NewDYKnomination
 | article         = Niagara Falls, from the American Side
 |    article2     =   
 | status          = new
 | hook            = ... that WRITE YOUR HOOK HERE?
 | ALT1            = <!-- For more hooks, type " |ALT2 = " and/or so forth. -->
 | author          = Hafspajen
 |    author2      = Sagaciousphil
 | image           = File:Frederic Edwin Church - Niagara Falls, from the American Side - Google Art Project.jpg
 |    caption      = Niagara Falls, from the American Side 
 | comment         = 
 | reviewed        = If you reviewed another article before listing this DYK nomination, put it here. Otherwise leave this line alone; it will blank when saved.
}}</nowiki>


It was created on 7 October 2014‎ - so still time to nominate - within ten days new aricles may be nominated.

Once you have created it, remember that you then go to the date 7 October and at the top add the template you created, which should be <nowiki>{{Did you know nominations/Niagara Falls, from the American Side }}</nowiki>

I will reword that, but can't garantee that it will be good. http://www.smk.dk/en/explore-the-art/highlights/martinus-roerbye-view-from-the-artists-window/ [[File:"Jellyfish" (5786375867).jpg|thumb|left|[[Jellyfish]]]]
CITATIO: ''Around the mid-1820s Rørbye found himself in a time of transition on several levels. On a personal level he was about to leave his childhood home where this view from the drawing-room window was painted. Dichotomy between the real and the ideal''
''On a professional level, he began to supplement his studies at the Academy with additional schooling from the idealist Eckersberg, and at the same time a shift occurred in the intellectual life of the period, giving rise to a greater emphasis on the dichotomy between the real and the ideal, between the familiar and distant longings. Aspects of transition: these different aspects of transition left their mark on the scene. The familiar closeness of the drawing room is contrasted with the sailing ships in the harbour, bound for faraway destinations. The cage in the window occupies a transitional position between the indoors and the outdoors, thereby emphasising the symbolism of the imprisoned bird. Popular themes with symbolic undertones: On the windowsill, flowers in different stages of growth reflect the stages of human life: The small cutting to the right is balanced by the flowering hydrangea and the partially withered flower in the middle of the picture. Out in the harbour the flowers are matched by three warships: the middle ship is still under construction, the right one has no rigging, leaving only the ship on the left seaworthy. During the Romantic era, open windows and ships on the sea became popular themes with symbolic undertones.''

:::Ha! Film was good though. A black and white study of misery, suicide and alcohol abuse in 1980s Poland. Followed by a walk back through town past a late-night cake shop with a bouncer and a long queue on the street outside (including small children).
