Could you explain the word “inspira” in “du naufrage qui inspira ce tableau”, which you translate as “of the shipwreck which inspired this painting“.

Hi! I was translating the sentence "Marie invited Julie to go to a concert.
And the right answer was "Marie a invité Julie à un concert".
Can I know the reason for which "à" and "un" are not contracted here please?
Thank you in advance.
Bonsoir,
I think there is a mistake in the translation of "tu sens ça? I translated it as Do you smell that?, Do you feel that? but had it only partially correct. Your answer also noted Do you taste that? To taste is normally translated as goûter - so why are you using sentir instead? It does not sound right. Please explain. Thanks !

"La fille, dont son frere travaillait avec moi, a gagne le prix"
"La femme, dont son fils j'ai rencontre la semaine derniere..."
"Amelie, dont ses enfants sont venus chez nous, sont bien eleves"
