'''Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux''' ([[May 11]], [[1827]], [[Valenciennes]] –[[October 12]], [[1875]], [[Courbevoie]]) was a French sculptor and painter. His early studies were under [[François Rude]]. Carpeaux won the [[Prix de Rome]] in [[1854]], and moving to [[Rome]] to find inspiration, he there studied the works of [[Michelangelo Buonarroti|Michelangelo]], [[Donatello]] and [[Andrea del Verrocchio|Verrocchio]]. Staying in Rome from [[1854]] to [[1861]], he obtained a taste for movement and spontaneity, which he joined with the great principles of [[baroque art]]. In [[1861]] he made a bust of [[Mathilde Bonaparte|Princess Mathilde]], and this later brought him several commissions from [[Napoleon III]]. He worked at the pavilion of [[Flora (goddess)|Flora]], and the [[Opéra Garnier]]. His group La Danse (the Dance, [[1869]]), situated on the right side of the façade, was criticised as an offence to common decency.

He never managed to finish his last work, the famous Fountain of the Four Parts of the Earth, on the Place Camille Jullian. He did finish the terrestrial globe, supported by the four figures of [[Asia]], [[Europe]], [[North America|America]] and [[Africa]], and it was [[Emmanuel Frémiet]] who completed the work by adding the eight leaping horses, the tortoises and the dolphins of the basin.
The '''2010 FIFA World Cup''' will be the 19th [[FIFA World Cup]], an international tournament for [[Football (soccer)|football]], that is scheduled to take place between [[11 June]] and [[11 July]] [[2010]] in [[South Africa]]. It will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by a nation in the [[Confederation of African Football]], leaving [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]] as the only FIFA Confederation never to have hosted the event.

==Host selection==
{{main|FIFA World Cup hosts}}
Africa was chosen as the host for the 2010 World Cup as part of a new policy to rotate the event between football confederations. Five African nations placed bids to host the 2010 World Cup:
*{{EGYf}}
*{{LBYf}} (to co-host with Tunisia)
*{{MARf}}
*{{RSAf}}
*{{TUNf}} (to co-host with Libya)


* Ugolin et ses fils - [[Ugolino della Gherardesca|Ugolino]] and his Sons (1861, in the permanent collection of the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]])[[http://www.insecula.com/oeuvre/photo_ME0000009025.html]] with versions in other museums including the [[Musée d'Orsay]]
Following the decision of the FIFA Executive Committee not to allow co-hosted tournaments, Tunisia withdrew from the bidding process. The committee also decided not to consider Libya's solo bid as it no longer met all the stipulations laid down in the official List of Requirements.
* The Dance (commissioned for the [[Palais Garnier|Opera Garnier]])
* Jeune pêcheur à la coquille - [[Naples|Neapolitan]] Fisherboy - in the [[Louvre]], [[Paris]] [[http://www.insecula.com/oeuvre/photo_ME0000034255.html]]
* Girl with Shell
* [[Antoine Watteau]] monument, [[Valenciennes]]


==Neapolitan Fisherboy==
After one round of voting, the winning bid was announced by FIFA president [[Sepp Blatter]] at a media conference on [[May 15]] [[2004]] in [[Zurich]]. South Africa was awarded the rights to host the tournament, defeating Morocco and Egypt.<ref>{{cite web | title=Host nation of 2010 FIFA World Cup™ - South Africa | date=[[2004-05-15]] | work=[[FIFA]] | url=http://www.fifa.com/en/media/index/0,1369,101476,00.html | accessdate=2006-01-08}}</ref>


Carpeaux submitted a plaster version of ''Pêcheur napolitain à la coquille'', the Neapolitan Fisherboy, to the [[French Academy]] while a student in [[Rome]]. He carved the marble version several years later, showing it in the Salon exhibition of 1863. It was purchased for [[Napoleon III]]'s empress, [[Eugénie de Montijo|Eugènie]]. The statue of the young smiling boy was very popular, and Carpeaux created a number of reproductions and variations in marble and bronze. There is a copy, for instance, in the Samuel H. Kress Collection in the [[National Gallery of Art]] in [[Washington D.C.]]
Results:

Some years later, he carved the Girl with a Shell, a very similar study.

Carpeaux sought real life subjects in the streets and broke with the classical tradition. The Neapolitan Fisherboy's body is carved in intimate detail and shows an intricately balanced pose. Carpeaux claimed that he based the Neapolitan Fisherboy on a boy he had seen during a trip to [[Naples]].
All Confederations have yet to start the qualification process for the 2010 World Cup. As the host nation, [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] qualifies automatically. The preliminary draw for the 2010 World Cup will be held in [[Durban, South Africa]] on [[November 23]] [[2007]].

==Preparations==
Five new stadiums are to be built for the tournament (three match venues and two practice grounds), and five of the existing venues are to be upgraded. Construction costs are expected to be R8.4bn.<ref>{{cite news | title=SA faces R8.4bn stadium bill | date=[[2006-10-01]] | work=[[News24]] | url=http://www.news24.com/News24/Sport/Soccer/0,,2-9-840_2006517,00.html | accessdate=2006-10-13}}</ref>

In addition to the stadiums being built and upgraded, South Africa is also planning to improve its current [[public transport]] infrastructure, and implement special measures to ensure the safety and security of local and international tourists attending the matches in accordance with standard FIFA requirements.<ref>{{cite news | title=2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Special Measures Act, 2006 | work=Republic of South Africa, Minister of Sport and Recreation - Online Government Gazette No. 28593 | date=[[2006-03-10]] | url=http://www.info.gov.za/gazette/bills/2006/b13-06.pdf | accessdate=2006-10-13}}</ref>

Rumours have circulated in various news sources that the 2010 World Cup could be moved to another country, due to the pace of South Africa's preparations for the event.<ref name="harding">{{cite news | author=Luke Harding | title=Doubt over South Africa 2010 | date=[[2006-06-12]] | work=[[The Guardian]] | url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/worldcup2006/story/0,,1818166,00.html | accessdate=2006-08-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | author= Jermaine Craig | title=Fifa denies SA may lose 2010 World Cup | date=2006-07-03 | work=[[The Star (South Africa)|The Star]] | url=http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?click_id=19&art_id=vn20060703014312923C258638&set_id= | accessdate=2006-08-30}}</ref> Some people, including [[Franz Beckenbauer]], [[Horst R.

==Controversies==

Several [[non-governmental organisation]]s and poor people's movements have expressed major concern about the eviction of [[shanty town|squatter camp]] residents to make way for World Cup venues. Concerns are particularly acute in [[Durban]] where local politicians have promised to 'clear the slums by 2010'.[http://www.abahlali.org] It has also been argued that it is inappropriate to invest so much public money on stadia when much of the population lacks basic services and housing. [http://squattercity.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-am-professor-of-my-suffering.html]

The logo decision has drawn some controversy as the design and awarding process were not transparent and open to a wider contributing pool. A website that questions this process and invites discussion whilst inviting a larger community to contribute to an unofficial logo design competition has been created. The competition and voting for the favourite logo is open to all. The website can be viewed at http://www.notthe2010logo.co.za

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (May 11, 1827, Valenciennes –October 12, 1875, Courbevoie) was a French sculptor and painter. His early studies were under François Rude. Carpeaux won the Prix de Rome in 1854, and moving to Rome to find inspiration, he there studied the works of Michelangelo, Donatello and Verrocchio. Staying in Rome from 1854 to 1861, he obtained a taste for movement and spontaneity, which he joined with the great principles of baroque art. In 1861 he made a bust of Princess Mathilde, and this later brought him several commissions from Napoleon III. He worked at the pavilion of Flora, and the Opéra Garnier. His group La Danse (the Dance, 1869), situated on the right side of the façade, was criticised as an offence to common decency.

He never managed to finish his last work, the famous Fountain of the Four Parts of the Earth, on the Place Camille Jullian. He did finish the terrestrial globe, supported by the four figures of Asia, Europe, America and Africa, and it was Emmanuel Frémiet who completed the work by adding the eight leaping horses, the tortoises and the dolphins of the basin.

Sculptures by Carpeaux

Neapolitan Fisherboy

Carpeaux submitted a plaster version of Pêcheur napolitain à la coquille, the Neapolitan Fisherboy, to the French Academy while a student in Rome. He carved the marble version several years later, showing it in the Salon exhibition of 1863. It was purchased for Napoleon III's empress, Eugènie. The statue of the young smiling boy was very popular, and Carpeaux created a number of reproductions and variations in marble and bronze. There is a copy, for instance, in the Samuel H. Kress Collection in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

Some years later, he carved the Girl with a Shell, a very similar study.

Carpeaux sought real life subjects in the streets and broke with the classical tradition. The Neapolitan Fisherboy's body is carved in intimate detail and shows an intricately balanced pose. Carpeaux claimed that he based the Neapolitan Fisherboy on a boy he had seen during a trip to Naples.
