Album – Luxury, Calm and Voluptuousness in Paris

The title comes from a line in the French nineteenth-century poet Charles Baudelaire’s poem, “Invitation to a Voyage” .
Inspired by the dreamy spirit of the poem, this serie of photos is telling an imaginary day of an elegant in an appartment of Paris.
It was a time when the favorite “passe-temps” was about to fall in a luxuary melancholia before going to the Opera.
This title is used for a painting of Matisse who said the following: “What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity, devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter.”
