When he started out, the future champion of geometric painting dazzled viewers with a post-Impressionist technique that marvellously expressed all the capital's poetry.

39 paintings have been added to a list of forgeries by Wolfgang Beltracchi, originally tried in 2011 for 14.

This moving bronze group enjoyed great fame in the 1880s and 1890s. It was cast by the best founders and recalls the master's most ambitious project.

The Austrian capital, long resistant to street art, is now home to "Calle Libre", one of the most dynamic festivals in the sector. From August 1 to 7, artists are invited to collectively create a fresco on the walls of a warehouse of a former freight station, soon to be demolished.

The 86 views of Italy that Auguste Jean-Baptiste Vinchon painted between 1816 and 1818 offer a unique glimpse of a rare studio collection.
