| Description: |
Tells the story of Clara, a five-thousand-pound animal and her owner, an eighteenth-century Dutch sea captain, which begins in India and follows this animal and her owner through their exploits in Berlin, where she met Frederick the Great), Paris, where she inspired rhinoceros hairdos, and, finally Venice, where she joined in the annual Carnival. |
| Synopsis: |
A life-size portrait of the famous rhinoceros named Clara is the massive centerpiece of the Getty Museum's exhibition "Oudry's Painted Menagerie". In her honour, the Getty has produced "My Travels with Clara", a picture book for children that tells the true story of this five-thousand-pound animal and her owner, an eighteenth-century Dutch sea captain. "My Travels with Clara" begins in India, where Clara was born, and follows this amazing animal and her owner through their exploits in Berlin (where she met Frederick the Great), Paris (where she was a sensation and inspired rhinoceros hairdos), Versailles (where she met Louis XV and had her portrait painted), Rome (where she lost her horn), and finally Venice (where Clara joined in the annual Carnival). This is a delightful story for children ages eight and up. |
