Two paintings by Henri Matisse, created during his six-month honeymoon in Corsica.
Compare his "Courtyard of the Mill at Ajaccio" (1898)
with "The Old Mill, Corsica" (1898) and we can see him experimenting with styles and colour.

In 1896, the three siblings Melanie (1886–1974), Gertrude (1894–1981) and Egon Schiele (1890–1918) were photographed together.
This portrait of 6 year old Egon Schiele represents a section of a 2nd version of the photograph from which the portraits of the other siblings have been removed.

The Xalet del Catllaràs, about 80 miles from Barcelona, was built in 1905 and commissioned by Eusebi Güell, Gaudí’s lifelong patron. Güell was the owner of a cement company with mines in the region and he needed somewhere to house the engineers, who would help extract the coal for his factories.
Hundred-year reveal: Catalonian chalet confirmed as Gaudí work in centenary year
Xalet del Catllaràs contains elements of architect’s naturalistic style, expressed in works such as Park Güell and Sagrada Família

A great opportunity to see an artist's work in progress; the grid he has drawn is still visible on the top right hand side.
