Before & after cleaning: “La Bergerie”, an oil by Charles Jacque (1813-1894), a specialist in rural pictures during the Industrial Revolution. Jacque was influential in his day: his 1861 salon picture “Troupeau De Moutons”, is in the Musée d’Orsay (image 2) #charlesjacque #barbizon #artrestoration

“The Triumph Of Love Over Time”, a 1780s clock in the MET. Jean-Baptiste Lepaute; figures by Augustine Pajou. The young god of love points to the minutes with an arrow, while an aging Father Time looks on dolefully. Fabulous. #metmuseum #18thcenturyart #clocks #Frenchart #AugustinePajou #rococo
