Hello Zelimir,
thank you for correcting my mistake.
It's funny how the same words have different meanings in various languages
and since I'm bilingual I should have know better and checked first.
Under these circumstances I will reconsider the purchase of the painting.
Thanks again and all the best.

Hi Bill,
This painting by Poyet does not represent a meteorite fall but a
lightning strike (in Fench "éclair"), more precisely a globe lighting
("éclair en boule".
The word "trajet du météore" (in the figure caption) literary means
"path of the meteor".
Though, in French, "meteore" does not designate a meteorite but a
meteor (meteoric phenomenon, such as rain, hail, gale, thunder,
lightning....)
But you are also free to collect paintings of terrestrial meteoric
(not meteoritic) phanomena of course....
A happy New-Year to all the List with a lots of meteor(ites) of any
kind to fall into your yards...
Zelimir

Hi Bill, listoids,

Here is another painting by Poyet of a meteor fall.
I personally like paintings/drawings that relate to meteors and since the
price seems to be reasonable I might order it.
Cheers

Thanks Werner,
I'll spend some time researching the artist. He must have been inspired.
Best to you,
Bill

Hello Bill, listoids,
http://kgs.uky.edu/kgsweb/olops/pub/kgs/sp01_12.pdf
Go down to page two, there's a photo and a description of the painting.
It
seems it doesn't relate to a specific fall since there was none in France
in
the year 1883.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
A happy and healthy new year to all of you.
