From Diane and Endymion's passionate embrace in 1630 to the bustling Place du Havre in Paris in 1893, each artwork tells a unique story.

The soft strokes of oil paint capture the essence of rest as people find solace under the warm sun. As winter blankets Parisian Boulevard with snow in 1879, an enchanting scene emerges. The city transforms into a magical wonderland as horse-drawn carriages navigate through snowy streets, leaving behind delicate imprints on their path. Alphabet engravings take us back to childhood memories with Letter O: Ours, Omnibus, Oie.

An assassination attempt on Francesco Crispi by anarchist Lega reminds us of political turmoil while Henri IV's untimely demise is immortalized within Octave Uzanne's book "La locomotion dans travers les ages.
