I studied Housing and Fine arts in France. The houses in France were tall and skinny. A lot of them had points on the tops if they were fancy expensive homes. The people who couldn’t afford a home lived in smaller shack like things kind of like a garden shed that one of the rich would have. The fine arts were really important to France. Art was one of them. When people were sad they would paint sad paintings that later turned into some of the most famous paintings. Some of the best art has come from people who were sad when they were panting, or sculpting. A lot of the fine art has people who aren’t wearing any clothes. That’s just the way they learned to paint and sculp. Simon Vouet was a very famous painter in the 1500-1600’s. Some of his paintings were called Minerva, Hercules among the Olympians, Virgin and Child, and Allegorie des Reichtums. He changed French art in that period of time.
Another Fine Art in France was Cooking
Professional Chefs/Cooks made a very high salary in those days. Cooking took a turn in the 1600’s because people were finding out and discovering new tastes and spices. They used a lot of Mint and Vanilla in their sauces and cooking. They used vanilla and mint in a lot of their special treats. They used vanilla in their special chocolate hazelnut brownies. The food was becoming more tasteful and rich. Everybody in France was finding dishes from other countries and making them in their own way. There was a bunch of cool recipes that the French made in the 1600’s. There was things like French Beans, French Bean Salad, Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies, Artichoke sauces and salads with artichoke in it, leek and potato soup, cat’s mousse, smoked herring, chocolate fudge, flan, French cut rib or beef, stuffed purple artichokes, they also made Greek style mushrooms, and they also made veal.
