Above, an unfinished palace designed by Cosimo Franzago for Anna Carafa, wife of a 17th-century Spanish viceroy of Naples. The building squatted on the edge of the Bay as a ruin for a couple of centuries before a Parisian artist wandered by and painted this quick rendition of the corpse.

| John Constable The Cottage in a Cornfield ca. 1833 oil on canvas Victoria & Albert Museum, London |
Curators suggest that Constable may have retained his Cottage in a Cornfield for up to twenty years in the studio, before completing it for exhibition in 1833. The painting remained with the artist's family, who bequeathed it to the Museum in the 1880s. It was the subject of meteorological analysis in ringing prose of the 1930s – "we find a still scene of fierce noonday heat in July or August and get a powerful impression of fast-growing cumulus clouds. That lonely cottage by the ripening corn will hardly escape a crashing storm that afternoon."

| Auguste-Hyacinthe Debay The Nation is in Danger (fragment) 1832 oil on canvas Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York |
The existence of the fragment above is accounted for by curators at the Met – "This canvas was recently recognized as a fragment of a large painting of 1832 that was exhibited at the Salons of 1833 and 1834. It was commissioned by King Louis Philippe as one of a series of scenes illustrating episodes in the history of the Palais-Royal, the official Paris residence of the Orléans family. The subject is typical of the patriotic, revolutionary imagery encouraged by the new king, in contrast to the medieval imagery propagated by his predecessor, Charles X. The painting was largely destroyed during the February 1848 sack of the palace, which marked the end of Louis Philippe's reign."
