The Park at Mortefontaine 1806
by Jean-Joseph-Xavier Bidauld
Bidauld was one of the most celebrated landscapists of the Neoclassical era. He developed his style during a five-year stay in Italy, where he learned to make his art an ordered observation of nature.
In this canvas Bidauld shows his ability to hold all elements of the composition in balance. His precise, smooth brush strokes are the ideal vehicle to transcribe the unruffled surface of the water. The treatment of light and reflection also contributes to the effect of icy perfection.
After the fall of Napoleon, his brother emigrated to America with this painting.
Size:
34-1/2 x 50-1/2 in

姚班大神胡渊鸣回国创业！超一半员工为清华校友，团队人均竞赛金牌数≥2
清华姚班出身的“计算机图形学超级新星”胡渊鸣同学回国创业啦！ 胡渊鸣，何许人也？ 他是“太极”（TaiChi）编程语言发明者，这种语言可以快速实现物理特效渲染，大大降低了计算机图形学的编程门槛。 用胡渊鸣的说法，用TaiChi可以打造“99行代码的《冰雪奇缘》”。 在一个简单的物理渲染场景中，TaiChi比TensorFlow提速了188倍、比PyTorch快13.4倍，而代码长度只有其他底层方法的十分之一。 所以，胡渊鸣的TaiChi一经开源，便在计算机圈引发轰动。 该项目在GitHub上开源一年多，就收获了13.2k星。…
