11 November 1884 — Paris | |
Tuesday. 11th November [1884]. Henry & I spent all the morning at the Louvre. Owing to the cholera being in Paris, abt 300 cases a day, there were very few people at the Gallery the foreigners having fled. I decided to get permission to copy in the Louvre & to do the Vierge au pigeon by P. de Cosimo as Morelli has baptised it– Returned to lunch at 1. Henry went back to the Louvre to see M. Tosca & to get the necessary permit for me to copy there– Then he returned & we went together to pay visits to the Weisweillers, the Hurtados, the Lacroix but found none of them at home. Mr Atlee came to see me at 5. We dined at 7 & went to the Palais Royal to see the Train de Plaisir, amusingly acted but very vulgar & too broad a farce. | |
