While sick in a military hospital, he contracted typhus, and died in 1915.

Neapolitan presepio at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh Detail of an elaborate Neapolitan presepio in Rome In the Christian tradition, a nativity scene (also known as a manger scene, crib, crèche (or ), or in Italian presepio or presepe) is the special exhibition, particularly during the Christmas season, of art objects representing the birth of Jesus.Berliner, R. The Origins of the Creche. Gazette des Beaux-Arts, 30 (1946), p. 251. While the term "nativity scene" may be used of any representation of the very common subject of the Nativity of Jesus in art, it has a more specialized sense referring to seasonal displays, either using model figures in a setting or reenactments called "living nativity scenes" (tableau vivant) in which real humans and animals participate.

The cinematography (done by Henri Alekan) of On Top of the Whale can be classified as typically Ruizian; the use of chromatic colored filters, unusual composition and framing and tableau vivant images. The film scholar Michael Godard describes it as > "the oft-noted visual excess of the film, the use of artificial coloured > filters and other trick devices seemingly unnecessary for a film about > language can perhaps best be situated; in the sense that the > anthropologist's attempts at comprehending the 'world-view' of the Indians > by deciphering their language will inevitably fail since not only is their > language untranslatable from its original context but also any such > encounter is inevitably a game in which the 'objects' of ethnographic > inquire are dissimulating themselves and this dissimulation is inevitably > subject to further distortions in its interpretations".

Olga Desmond nude with drapery and pedestal The tableau vivant, or group of living statues, was a regular feature of medieval and Renaissance festivities and pageantry, such as royal entries by rulers into cities. Typically a group enacting a scene would be mounted on an elaborate stand decorated to look like a monument, placed on the route of the procession. A living statue appeared in a scene of the 1945 French masterpiece film Les enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise), and early living statue pioneers include the London-based artists Gilbert and George in the 1960s. In the early years of the 20th century, the German dancer Olga Desmond put on “Evenings of Beauty” (Schönheitsabende) in which she posed nude in imitation of classical works of art ('living pictures').

Trente tableaux is a 2011 autobiographical feature documentary by Quebec film director Paule Baillargeon, made during her two-year film residency with the National Film Board of Canada. It is an anthology film composed of 30 short portraits—or tableau vivant—of her 66 years of life to date, reflecting her experiences as a woman in Quebec's changing society. The film explores Baillargeon's feminist and sovereigntist views, her struggles with her depression, her childhood, the great landscapes of her native Abitibi- Témiscamingue, her daughter Blanche and her close relationship with her dog, Watam. She revisits pivotal moments in her life, including her experiences while directing her controversial 1979 film, La cuisine rouge, in which her actresses, inspired by the film's feminist message, insisted on improvising the end of the film.

41 At the third "triumph" at Valladolid in 1509, a lion holding the city's coat-of-arms shattered at the King's arrival, revealing the royal arms: the significance could not have been lost, even on those unable to hear the accompanying declamation.Knighton and Morte García 1999:146 During the 16th century, at dates differing widely by location, the tableau vivant was phased out and mostly replaced by painted or sculpted images, although many elements of street-theatre persisted, and small masques or other displays became incorporated into the programmes. The entry in 1514 of Mary Tudor to Paris, as Louis XII's new Queen, was the first French entry to have a single organizer; ten years before Anne of Brittany's entry had been "largely medieval", with five stops for mystery plays in the streets.One Pierre Gringore, apparently appointed by the government.

A line from the speech is quoted by the character Queen Elizabeth I (Queenie) in the 5th Blackadder II episode entitled "Beer" where she says, :"I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant." An abridged version of the speech is delivered by the character Lucia, appearing as Elizabeth I in a tableau vivant, in Mapp and Lucia. The speech is quoted partially in the series The Virgin Queen and Elizabeth I, as well as the film Elizabeth: The Golden Age.Erzsébet Stróbl,“The Tilbury Speech and Queen Elizabeth: Iconic Moments of English History on Film,” in: Contemporary Perspectives on Language, Culture and Identity in Anglo-American Contexts, edited by Éva Antal, Csaba Czeglédi and Eszter Krakkó (Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2019), 251–267.

The fourteenth-century poet, Heinrich von Neustadt, wrote: "He was laid out on the cross:/There were his pure limbs/and his arms drawn/Like the string of a bow." In Rogier's Deposition, Christ's removal from the cross is pictured as the relaxation of a bow that has released its arrow.Powell, (2006) The Errant Image: Rogier van der Weyden's Deposition from the Cross and its Copies, 545 Dirk de Vos suggests that van der Weyden wished to evoke a life sized, carved relief filled with polychrome figures, and thus elevate his painting to the level of grand scale sculpture. The work's corners are filled with carved gilded tracery, with the presentation of living figures on a stage intended as a tableau vivant, or sculptural group, the latter of which is created through the sense of condensed movement within a single instant.

Launder and Gilliat. Manchester University Press. p47. Box cited the rulings by Lord Cromer, the then Lord Chamberlain and censor for all theatrical performances in London, in regards to the Windmill Girls show in the Windmill Theatre and the New York Censor Review Board in relation to the pre-code film Four Frightened People (1934), when arguing for the inclusion of the skinny dipping scene in his film. In regards to the Windmill Girls, Lord Cromer found that nude statutes or paintings in museums were not considered as obscene but art and therefore a live nude woman standing stationary, as a Tableau vivant could not be considered as obscene but rather also as art, unless there was movement by the nude woman, then it would be rude and obscene,Weightman, Gavin. (1992). Bright Lights, Big City: London Entertained, 1830-1950. Collins & Brown. pp88-90. Walkowitz, Judith. (2012).

Whereas later in the history of photography artificial electric lighting was done in a dark room, building up the light with hard spotlights and softer floodlights, the daylight studio was equipped with screens and blinds to control the light, to reduce it and make it unidirectional, or diffuse it to soften harsh direct lighting. Blue filtration was sometimes used to make it easier for the sitter to tolerate the strong light, as a daguerreotype plate was almost exclusively sensitive to light at the blue end of the spectrum and filtering out everything else did not significantly increase the exposure time. Usually, it was arranged so that sitters leaned their elbows on a support such as a posing table, the height of which could be adjusted, or else head rests were used that did not show in the picture, and this led to most daguerreotype portraits having stiff, lifeless poses. Some exceptions exist, with lively expressions full of character, as photographers saw the potential of the new medium, and would have used the tableau vivant technique.

In 'The aestheticization of suffering on television', Chouliaraki's analyzes " war footage in order to trace the ways in which the tension between presenting airwar as an 'objective' piece of news and as an instance of intense human suffering is resolved in television's strategies of mediation". Specifically, Chouliaraki argues that the bombardment of Baghdad in 2003 during the Iraq war was filmed in long-shot and presented in a quasiliterary narrative that capitalized on an aesthetics of horror, on sublime spectacle (Boltanski). She says that the "aestheticization of suffering on television is thus produced by a visual and linguistic complex that eliminates the human pain aspect of suffering, whilst retaining the phantasmagoric effects of a tableau vivant", producing an "aestheticization of suffering [that] manages simultaneously to preserve an aura of objectivity and impartiality, and to take a pro-war side in the war footage". Chouliaraki's research on war reporting focuses on mobile phone footage from post-Arab Spring conflict zones, exploring how major news platforms accommodate Twitter, amateur videos and other genres, such as selfies, in their news stories.

In his compositions, piano is the instrument given the highest priority. As an actively performing pianist, Krauze not only composes for this instrument, but also performs his own compositions. This applies both to his early work, such as "Six Folk Melodies" (1958), through compositions resulting from experimentation with musical notation ("Five Unitary Piano Pieces" 1963, "Triptych" 1964), later experiments with the sound of the piano ("Stone Music" 1972, "Arabesque" 1983, "Adieu" 2001), theatrical games ("Gloves Music" 1972, "One Piano Eight Hands" 1973) and piano concertos (1976, 1996) where virtuosity is combined with a strong emotional charge. Other important instrumental works include: "Tableau Vivant" (1982) for chamber orchestra, "Blanc-rouge / Paysage d'un Pays" (1985) for a wind orchestra, a mandolin orchestra, an accordion orchestra and 6 percussions, "Quatuor Pour La Naissance" (1985), "Piano Quintet" (1993), "Canzona" for a chamber orchestra (2011) and "Memories of the East" (2012) for 85 Chinese instruments. Unitary music is exceptionally important in the list of Krauze’s work. As he says: „The sound is individual enough to make it possible to distinguish it from the chaos of other music and other sounds.
