In the midst of a ridiculous dream, huddled together in an enchanting artwork by Francisco Goya from 1819-1823, we find ourselves transported to another time and place. The scene unfolds in "En Angleterre: Pauvre Jenny. " captured by Henry Duff Linton for "Le Journal Illustre" in 1865. As winter blankets the landscape, Goya's Winter Scene from c. 1786 portrays figures tightly knit together, seeking warmth and solace amidst the cold. Gustave Doré's masterpieces take us on a journey where unity becomes paramount. In "The Bull s-Eye" of 1872, individuals gather closely around their target, sharing a common goal with unwavering determination. Similarly, in "Roofless. " and "Provincials in Search of Lodgings, " also created by Doré that same year, people unite against adversity as they face homelessness or struggle to find shelter. "The Camp at Valley Forge" transports us back to c1777 during the American Revolution when officers cloaks and Dutch blankets provided soldiers with much-needed respite from the harsh elements. Lance Thackeray's poignant piece titled "A Side Light" captures a moment of camaraderie amidst challenging circumstances in 1908. Winter takes center stage once again as Theo van Hoytema presents his artistic rendition of this season's beauty in c1895. The chilling atmosphere is juxtaposed with scenes like "The Peril of Queen Henrietta Maria, " painted during the 19th century by P Lightfoot; it reminds us that even royalty can be vulnerable to nature's wrath. "Cold Paris" freezes our imagination as we envision bustling streets transformed into icy landscapes under its spellbinding charm in 1902. Lastly, Fernand Loyen du Puigaudeau invites us to witness young Breton people huddled together before a procession between c1884-1930, showcasing the power of unity and tradition.
