Paris, 1889. A Filipino won a bronze medal at the prestigious world’s fair Exposition Universelle, which marked the hundredth anniversary of the French Revolution and for which the Eiffel Tower was built. The win defied racial bias and cemented the painter’s place in what might still be regarded as the art capital of the world.

The painter’s name was Juan Luna, and his award-winning painting was entitled H***n, oh Hyménée! or Boda Romana (Roman Wedding). With oil on canvas, it depicts a bride being showered with flowers by women, children, and men in a lavish atrium. It has been described as ethereal, joyous, and majestic.

After the fair, the renowned Luna kept the painting in his private collection, where it remained until his death in 1899. Its whereabouts became unknown after that. Images of the painting remained in books and lithographs of it were even sold at auctions, but nobody could see it in its entirety again. Until one day in 2014, when an art dealer was invited to a noble European family’s home. There, the art dealer saw, and purchased, the fabled painting.

Just last month, and for the first time in 134 years, Luna’s long-lost H***n, oh Hyménée! was unveiled to the public, in a museum in Manila, Philippines.

GRAMMICHELE - THE HEXAGONAL TOWN, 17th century, province of Catania, Italy 🇮🇹
What makes the city of Grammichele unique is its hexagonal plan. Starting from the large central square, alleys and streets branch off that give it this shape.
The town was founded after the great Sicily earthquake of 1693 wiped out an earlier settlement called Occhialà, located to the north of modern Grammichele.
Grammichele was built by Carlo Maria Carafa Branciforte, the Prince of Roccella and Butera. Designed by Michele da Ferla, it was the first city in Europe with a hexagonal plan. Its layout was probably inspired by Palmanova, a fortified town built one hundred years earlier.
Grammichele has a hexagonal plan that could be potentially extended indefinitely. The hexagonal plan designed for Grammichele is divided into six sectors by six roads all converging towards the main square, which is hexagonal too, on which public offices are overlooked.
