An early view inside the Uffizi, a Baron who couldn’t stop collecting, views inside the Royal Academy and jury selection for the Salon, and much more in the Louvre.

Fireplaces and hearths, from a small town in the country, a dozing fisherman’s wife copied by Vincent van Gogh, a fire in a studio, and those in suburban homes.
From those run and staffed by religious orders around 1600 to the 19th century’s revolution in nursing, and dazzlingly white interiors with radiators.
A dramatic family break-up, Norwegian light and music, a library, ornate decor with a bird cage, and a truly avant-garde interior of 1913.
From the tribute to a dead colleague, and a record of an important exhibition, to the downright enigmatic embedded paintings of Velázquez, Courbet and others.
Don Quixote, Netherlandish Proverbs, grain fields in Ukraine, a flock of sheep in a boat, the Golden Horn, pastels and kabkabs.
Two paintings by van Gogh, and others show open fires and stoves heating homes and other places up to 1930.
