Charles Soulacroix's 600 m² frescoes for Boulogne-sur-Mer cathedral are considered his masterpiece. These frescoes are clearly a fusion of the sacred arts of his time. Commissioned by Monseigneur Haffreingue, Charles Soulacroix respected the wishes of both the Apostolic Prothonotary and the papacy. Pope Pius IX approved all the details of the frescoes. Although it is not clear from current literature, we believe that these frescoes, completed in 1865, influenced artists from the 1870s to 1910, as shown by the aesthetic...The cathedral-basilica of Boulogne-sur-Mer and its frescoes

For centuries, painting obeyed a particular classification, dictated by the subject matter. For example, military and historical works were favoured by official commissions, while landscapes and seascapes were considered minor art. The situation changed in the 19th century. Artists diversified their subject matter and increasingly focused on describing their environment, nature and its landscapes. Strongly inspired by photography, this pictorial movement gave pride of place to nature to the detriment of historical scenes. Both realistic and social, these works were appreciated by...19th century naturalist painters in the Boulonnais region

One morning you wake up in a strange state: it's not the holidays and yet you're not going to work. You're not ill, either... You're just ‘retired’! What can you do to ensure that this change of state, which you aspire to as much as you dread it, is experienced in the best possible way and that retirement doesn't turn into a ‘Berezina’?Because he didn't like the term ‘retired’, Dominique Paty, a newcomer to the job, wanted to be an... -

Victoria's reign, the longest in British history (1837-1901), was a period of peace and growing prosperity. It was a period of scientific, technological and industrial progress, as well as social and cultural progress, the rise of an empire and a revolution in attitudes. The Victorian world was extraordinarily modern: political reforms and astounding progress in the sciences (physics, anthropology, medicine, hygiene, etc.) and technologies (the power of steam, iron and steel and the railways), as well as the development of... -
Arnaud Destombes is passionate about the history of Wimereux, which he deciphers through an extensive collection of postcards dating back to the town's origins, and enriched by family photos entrusted to him in a friendly manner. Using these visual aids, some of which are unique on glass plates, and a wealth of archive documentation, he takes pleasure in taking us back in time, adding personal accounts and anecdotes to the commentary on each photo. It's a great way to understand...A walk through the Wimereux of yesteryear, stage 5

Last year, we paid tribute to the memory of Edward Jenner (1749-1823) on the bicentenary of his death. Even though Napoleon called him "a benefactor of humanity", it is surprising that he should feature among the statues at the foot of Boulogne's ramparts. Why is an English doctor, who never came to Boulogne in person, honoured in this way? What is the link between Jenner and Boulogne? You have to look at the history of the man to understand him,...Edward Jenner: why does his statue stand at the foot of the Boulogne ramparts?
