Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature.[3] He is renowned for his multi-faceted characters; even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. Inanimate objects are imbued with character as well; the city of Paris, a backdrop for much of his writing, takes on many human qualities. His writing influenced many famous writers, including the novelists Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Jack Kerouac, and Henry James, filmmakers Akira Kurosawa and Eric Rohmer as well as important philosophers such as Friedrich Engels. Many of Balzac's works have been made into films, and they continue to inspire other writers.

Charles-Joseph Natoire, Adam et Ève chassés du Paradis terrestre/The Expulsion from Paradise, 1740

"This picture must have been intended by Natoire as a tribute to Le Moyne. It was a pendant to a painting by Le Moyne, depicting Adam receiving the forbidden fruit from Eve in the Garden of Eden (private collection). Natoire shared with Le Moyne a predilection for the nude, here depicting with care the rosy and sensual body of the disappointed Eve, a tear glistening on her cheek."

Provenance
Pierre Charles de Villette, marquis de Villette (by 1755–65; his estate sale, Paris, April 8, 1765, no. 32, for 332 livres); [Pierre Joseph Lafontaine, until 1798; his sale, Paillet, Paris, February 22, 1798, no. 132, for 200 frs to Renard]; [Miville-Krug, Basel, until 1846; sold to Balzac]; Honoré de Balzac, Paris (1846–d. 1850; inv., 1848); his widow, Eve Hanska de Balzac, Paris (1850–d. 1882; anonymous sale, Hotel des Ventes, Brussels, April 25, 1882, no. 13); [Eugène Fischhof, Paris, until 1913; sale, Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, June 14, 1913, no. 33, for Fr 1,900]; Lizé, Rouen; sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, November 20, 1985, no. 38, for Fr 820,000; [Stair Sainty Matthiesen, New York, until 1987; sold to MMA]

 No.22743

"Throughout the Comédie humaine, begun long before he first saw Natoire’s The Expulsion from Paradise, Balzac frequently alluded to religious works of art. Yves Gagneux found that, of the one hundred masterpieces mentioned by Balzac in his novels, forty are biblical paintings created by such artists as Raphael, Titian, and Murillo.15 Addressing a fascination with the liminal realm between mortality and immortality, Balzac conjured up works of art that illuminate the human spirit as it undergoes a transformation. He described, for example, the apotheosis of the eponymous figure in Domenichino’s Communion of Saint Jerome (Vatican Museums), the mystical glow surrounding Christ as he ascends into the paradisiacal realm of Raphael’s Transfiguration (Vatican Museums),16 and the youthful splendor of the Virgin Mary as she receives the gift of eternal life in Titian’s Assumption of the Virgin (Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice).17 The story of Adam and Eve’s spiritual transformations played a role in at least two of Balzac’s works.



Therefore, it is not surprising that Balzac and Hanska were charmed by Natoire’s rendering of Adam and Eve. When the writer returned to Paris in late May 1846 after traveling with Hanska, he immediately commenced negotiations to buy The Expulsion from Paradise from MivilleKrug. In a letter to Hanska dated May 30, he voiced his intentions: “You will have [the] Adam and Eve; it will not be said that my desires alone will be fulfilled.”28 By June 10, he had settled on a price, and five days later the painting was delivered.29"

Izumi and Komiya had the most screentime, development and chemistry, while there was hardly anything going on with him and Natsume. The characters change their minds about various things during the story, but Main Girl Syndrome is as sure as death and taxes.

Good posts, especially the first. The whole baseball match felt weird. I think I know what they were going for, but it just didn't pan out well; the symbolism did not feel salient or congruent enough I suppose. Combine that with the Main Girl Syndrome and you have an unsatisfying ending that only the japs would like (maybe?).

At least Morikawa and Haruto ended nicely. I wouldn't mind a SoL sequel focusing on those two; it'd be cute, heart-warming, and be open to a good story about a young man and woman trying to cope with their daily lives and the commitment they made with each other.

There's like four 'good' episodes in the entire series, and all of them are carried by the fight scenes. If you're expecting quality prepare to be disappointed, and by the end to be physically upset like I was.

I'm actually pretty sad that Alstolfo is so bland. Sure 90% of the cast is bland but I was actually a little invested in Alstolfo from reading all his doujins. I was looking forward to finding out about his character so finding out he's just so boringly nice was a big let down. Not that this will stop me sexualizeing him though.
Oh well, 9 more episodes to go. Though I'm going to seriously consider dropping it for good if yet another mindless monstrosity like Spartacus or the golem shows up.

 No.22659

>>22658
How're you doing so far? And Astolf isn't actually all that bland, there's technically a lore reason why he acts like a fucking idiot right now and I'll tell you if you want to know since I don't remember if the anime covers it
Sieg is far worse than Astolf when it comes to blandness

Also, what did you think about Adam / Keter? I got really pissed off at Chiron's whole weird justice shtick. In fact, the same goes for the entire Ygg / Jeanne faction - you'll see in time, but it's basically just hypocrisy of the highest order plus huge amounts of plot armor.

 No.22662

>>22659
I think it would be fair to say I'm finding it a bit of a struggle. For the most part I've found myself just giving it half my attention while doing other stuff. Nothings really happened to change my opinion from when I first dropped it that Kairi and Mordred are the only fun things about this show.

>Sieg is far worse than Astolf when it comes to blandness

Oh for sure, I can't deny that. Actually I'm just going to give Astolfo the benefit of the doubt and say I find him so boring since he's surrounded by boring characters.

>what did you think about Adam / Keter

I dunno, It was just another thing that happened. Mordred+Kairi, Jeanne and Ygg would have all come together regardless since they all have beef with Shirou so I wouldn't say it was a necessary for the plot to move forwards. None of the characters really grew from it either. I suppose I didn't expect such a big threat to show up at this point in the series, but it's not like there was any tension to it. With it's powers it's the sort of thing I'd expect to show up as a final boss, but when something like that appears at this point in the show I just expect it to be very anti-climatic.

 No.22670

>>22662
Golem Keter Malkuth actually doubles in size every fifteen minutes or something, so the anime didn't really showcase why they were in such a hurry to deal with it
At any rate Karna's fight is fairly good and Semiramis is an eternal cutie, but that's all there is to it
At least now you know why everyone shits on Apocrypha, and can join them in doing so.

Surprised at how decent it was.
I thought it would be kind of rubbish honestly, and the weird half-potatoe artstyle put me off in the preview, but it legitimately grew on me, the artstyle got to the point where I actually prefer how it looks now, I got plenty used to the new voice, and all in all the pacing, the adaption, just about all of it was on point. If I have any complaints it was that the adaption was too short and that Hermes' voice really put me off and I can't put the finger on it.
It's surprising how little discussion of it there was anywhere. Maybe many people didn't like it as much as I did? Or maybe because half the episodes were re-dos, so there wasn't much to discuss?
How many new fans do you reckon this hooked in, I think further adaptions will depend on that.

Actually I believe only two episodes were remade. The Colosseum one and the Kino one. And in the original Colosseum the dog didn't even speak, but the ex-prince wasn't used as a character with his own travels.
About discussion, what is there to really to talk about? The philosophy is basic and it doesn't even have the artsy presentation of the old. It is basically fairytales that have no lessons and are not even fairy any more.

Four episodes are out, and this is one of my favourite shows this season. The animation is great and so is the fight choreography, and the characters are all pretty entertaining and play off of each other well. And of course, it's calling back to good old fashioned justice.

The last episode final battle was quite nice, but this episode was a bit of a mess, with the time jumping around and the sequel hook ending. Not that I'd mind a sequel, since I still loved the action scenes, the justice, and basically everything that wasn't the main plot with Emi and Kaido. The soundtrack was great too. Shame it probably won't get released.
