History
Bastille, the story of a revolution
The Storming of the Bastille occurred in Paris, France, on 14 July 1789, when revolutionary insurgents stormed and seized control of the medieval armory, fortress, and political prison known as the Bastille. At the time, the Bastille represented royal authority in the center of Paris. The prison contained only seven inmates at the time of its storming, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy's abuse of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.

Late night reflections
One painting that has always captivated me is Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks," which depicts a late-night scene at a diner in an urban area. The painting is known for its use of light and shadow to convey a sense of loneliness and isolation among the people in the diner, who are all lost in their own thoughts and seemingly disconnected from one another.
