The weather of the year was rather mild for the Bordeaux vineyards, limiting in particular the pressure of diseases of the vine: few rains during the winter, exceptional sunshine in February and March.

It is the beginning of September that it starts to mature. The pumpkin is harvested when the foliage and the stalk are dry and yellow. - Read the story |

The picture was painted on a wooden panel, which is very reactive to changes in humidity and climate. As a result, the altarpiece had already undergone several major structural changes before the Gallery acquired it in 1867.
When it entered the Collection, the wood was conserved using a technique called cradling, which was the best practice at this time.
Although this work was done with the best of intentions, it ultimately made the altarpiece even more fragile.
In 2011, we decided to conserve the altarpiece to preserve it for future generations – 7 years later, this Room 56 display offers a rare opportunity to see how the National Gallery’s conservation studio has approached one of the most intricate structural conservation projects it has ever undertaken.

In front of the enlistment offices the young people came to register as volunteers, and all felt the need to sing their desire to win in martial stanzas, likely to stimulate their emulation.
They sang well some songs of war of the old monarchy, but these songs were too dull, given the feelings of independence which animated these young men.

If he is a sacked monarch to be rejected by the press - both satirical and political - it is Leopold II.
A King who apparently knows what he wants and puts all his energy into getting it.
To the chagrin of his opponents - and there are many! Who do not skimp on the means to attack the person of the Sovereign.
