Gare do Oriente (), or alternately, the Lisbon Oriente Station is one of the main Portuguese intermodal transport hubs, and is situated in the civil parish of Parque das Nações, municipality of Lisbon.

History

In 1994, the station was proposed as part of the modernization of the Linha do Norte, a modification to the rail line to facilitate the future development of a new station in eastern Lisbon. Located along Avenida D. João II, over Avenida de Berlim and Rua Conselheiro Mariano de Carvalho, the station was planned to occupy the lands once occupied by Apeadeiro dos Olivais, which was demolished in the 1990s in order to make way for the new station.

Bids for building the project on lands to be used for the 1998 exposition were solicited internationally. The concept was originally designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava in 1995, and built by Necso.

The station was inaugurated on 19 May 1998, as part of the celebrations marking the opening of the Expo '98 world's fair. At the time of its opening it was considered the largest intermodal station in Portugal, winning the Brunel Award on 7 October 1998, in the category of large new construction projects.

Architecture

Oriente Station is situated in an urban area of reclaimed industrial and abandoned buildings fronting the northern margin of the Tagus River, situated  from the city centre.

Ambitious in its conception, the modernist station includes a Lisbon Metro station, a high-speed commuter and regional train hub, a local, national and international bus station, a shopping centre and a police station. The rail station was conceived with a multi-modal platform intersecting the cardinal axes for the various transport modes.

With some influence from Gothic architecture, the station bears considerable resemblance to Santiago Calatrava's earlier Allen Lambert Galleria within Toronto's Brookfield Place. Calatrava's objective was to realize a new space with ample room and functionality providing multiple connections between various zones in the metropolitan area of Lisbon.

One important aspect of the station is its link to the urban environment in which it was constructed. The decision to elevate the rail line, for example, eliminated a physical barrier between the city and the Tagus River margin. The station, covered in a lattice structure of glass and metal, is constructed of reinforced concrete and raised  over the roadway. By January 2011, there were eight lines that extended  across  platforms, between  in height.

In addition to the many galleries that are part of the station, it is connected to the Centro Comercial Vasco da Gama (Vasco da Gama Commercial Centre/Mall) and the Lisbon Metro through a subterranean access, as well as a first floor connection to the train platforms and a pedestrian walkway.

La Mère Catherine is a brasserie in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is the oldest restaurant located at place du Tertre. It is situated in a building that previously served as the church presbytery of Saint-Pierre de Montmartre.

History
Founded in 1793, it is one of the oldest restaurants in Paris. A plaque at its entrance gives a folk etymology of the word "bistro": that on March 30, 1814, while a group of Russian soldiers were dining at Mère Catherine, they asked for drinks,  (Cyrillic: быстро; Russian: "quickly"). Thereafter, "bistro" became a description of a restaurant where you could get food or drink quickly. In the early twentieth century, the bistro was managed by Mr. Lemoine and owned by Père Labille. During the French Revolution, Georges Danton met his disciples at Mère Catherine. During the Nazi occupation of Paris, 1941-1944, Ernst Jünger was a patron. At one time, guests could enjoy a game of billiards at Mère Catherine; an old postcard depicts billiards players posing in front of the bar. Today, the restaurant is frequented mostly by tourists.

Architecture and fittings
The interior is characterized by dark wood walls, terra cotta tiles, and exposed wooden ceiling beams. It is furnished with large crocks, framed oil paintings of Montmartre landmarks, wooden chairs, and red-and-white checked linens.

Pedro de Camprobín Passano (1605, Almagro - 22 July 1674, Seville) was a Spanish Baroque painter who specialized in still-lifes; primarily flowers.

Life and work
His father, Pedro, was a silversmith and his mother, Juana (née Passano) was descended from the Peroli brothers; painters from Genoa who had worked on the frescoes at the . At the age of fourteen, he was apprenticed to Luis Tristán in Toledo. He does not appear on the official record again until 1630, when he passed the exam for the painter's guild in Seville. It is presumed that he completed his training in Madrid with Juan van der Hamen, due to comparable stylistic elements in his early works.

From 1632 to 1634, he created the "Magdalena Repentant" at the , which is the only religious work he is known to have produced. The figures show the influence of Francisco de Zurbarán, but his still-life sensibility is displayed in the items arranged on a table, in the style of a "vanitas".

He married and had two daughters, but was already a widower when he made out his will in 1670. Ten years earlier, he and other notable artists, such as Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Juan de Valdés Leal and Francisco Herrera, had participated in the creation of the "Academia de dibujo de Sevilla" (drawing academy), in which he collaborated until his death.

Although he painted a wide variety of still lifes, his true specialty was floral arrangements; always presented in bowls or vases, with a casual look, and occasionally accompanied by living creatures, such as butterflies. Some have architectural perspectives; in the style of contemporary Italian models. He has been credited with the painting, "Death and the Knight", at the Hospital de la Caridad; an attribution based on the arrangement and symbolic value of numerous everyday objects.
