Entre Gand mars 2020 et Gand avril 2023, le Covid a coulé sous la guerre en Ukraine mais l’art intemporel est toujours là.

L’Agneau Mystique a changé de chapelle et retrouvé sa place… c’est tout le mal que je nous souhaite !
Beauty, Beauty and more perfection. Merci Vermeer

Back to normality?
It's time for me to give some news. I guess "life goes on but this world is totally mad" may be the right approach.
