In 1810, Danish artist C.W. Eckersberg set out on a journey that would shape his career.⁠ ⁠ He arrived in Paris that October, renting a small attic room on Rue de Beaune. Shortly after, his fellow artist I.P.

These small objects solved a very unpleasant problem: the smell of the dead.⁠ ⁠ Vinaigrettes date back to the late 1600s.
