Leonardo Da Vinci – Artist, Painter of the Renaissance
Studying nature with passion, and all the independence proper to his character, he could not fail to combine precision with liberty, and truth with beauty.

William Morris (Version française)
William Morris fut l’une des personnalités emblématiques du XIXe siècle. Peintre, architecte, poète et ingénieur, maniant avec autant de talent la plume que le pinceau, il bouleversa la société victorienne en refusant les standards instaurés par l’industrie conquérante. Son engagement dans la rédaction du manifeste socialiste fut la suite naturelle de cette révolution.

William Morris (English version)
William Morris was one of the most emblematic personalities of the nineteenth century. Painter, architect, poet and engineer, wielding the quill as well as the brush, he jolted Victorian society by discarding standards established by triumphant industry. His commitment to the writing of the Socialist Manifesto was the logical result of the revolution he personified in his habitat, the form of his design and the colours he used.
