Franck Daffos and Jean-Pierre Garcia have started a new study into Nicolas Poussin’s famous painting Les Bergers d’Arcadie or The Shepherds of Arcadia in English. This tableau is believed to be at the very heart of the mystery of Rennes-le-Château. They turn the picture inside-out and provide incredible detail. The article is in French.
Rennes-le-Château Archive has an interesting article about the restoration of paintings by 30-year expert Patrick Merle. He uses his knowledge to analyse the restorations on Nicolas Poussin’s painting the Shepherds of Arcadia. The article is in French.
In June 2004, the Musée des Beaux Arts de Valence bought a masterpiece by Hubert Robert from 1789. It depicts some shepherds in an Arcadian landscape around a large tomb. Franck Daffos and Jean-Pierre Garcia had a close look at it and discovered an inscription that has more than a passing resemblance to the better known inscription on Nicolas Poussin’s Les Bergers d’Arcadie (The Shepherds of Arcadia). The article is in French but speaks for itself and is not to be missed.
A Belgian Rennes-le-Château researcher by name of Beauseant, recently made a remarkable discovery. The enigmatic Tomb, Nicolas Poussin painted on his famous ‘Bergers d’Arcadie’ (Shepherds of Arcadia) and which has kept legions of researchers occupied for decades, was also part of another painting he made. It concerns a version of ‘Rest on the Flight to Egypt’, which has long been lost but of which an engraving survives. Like the other one, this painting was commissioned by the papal family of Barberini, one of the most influential families in and around the vatican at the time and patrons of Poussin during his stay in Rome. Congratulations Beauseant.
Controversial French right-wing presidential candidate Jean-Marie le Pen, visited Notre-Dame de Marceille on 25th March. He was received and shown around by Rennes-le-Château researcher Franck Daffos. Le Pen said he was intrigued by Daffos’ book on the subject. Daffos indicated that he is not a member of Le Pen’s Front National party and that it has been a very long time since he voted. After the visit he accompanied Le Pen to the tomb of Nicolas Pavillon in Alet-les-Bains.
Good news for everybody who is interested in the enigma of Rennes-le-Château and lives in America. Les Bergers d’Arcadie II (The Shepherds of Arcadia), the painting of Nicolas Poussin that appears to be at the heart of the mystery has temporarily moved to the Louvre Museum’s new branch in Atlanta. The painting will be on display there until september of this year.
The Rennes-le-Château and Languedoc region it has been said, shows evidence of Isis Worship as well as a strange mix of Christian and Occult symbolism in tha area. Even this church in Salza a village in the hills ten miles from Rennes-le-Château has an inverted pentagram at the entrance, and no one seems to have ever objected.
‘Pontils Tomb’, found not too far from Rennes-le-Château, was perhaps once situated beside the river ‘Le Cruce’ which is now a dry river bed. Controversy comes from its comparison with the tomb in the painting ‘The Shepherds of Arcadia’ by Nicolas Poussin and it’s depicted tomb, which he painted between 1638-39. Could he have painted the Pontils Tomb? There is evidence that this tomb may have been built long after Poussin painted his masterpiece. The question is, was the ‘newer tomb’ rebuilt on the site of a previously derelict tomb, or built to look the tomb in the painting for some reason?
