How was weather in 1877 when Gustave Caillebotte painted our eponymous picture – did it really rain all year in Paris? What happened elsewhere? While some dates and years immediately evoke memories of history lessons, other dates are just an empty shell to us. To fill these dates with life and meaning is the goal of our new series "The Year X". We look back on the years of our art piece's originating year and explore what people were doing in politics, history or literature. A fascinating experiment, as we see after this first episode talking about the year 1877.
