Peter Rotsaert and Vico De Vocht examine a digital version of a silent film at the Brussels Cinematek. DB here: Today Dawson City, in the Yukon Territory of Canada, has fewer than two thousand people, but in the 1890s tens of thousands passed through in search of gold.

A bona fide Masterpiece of the 19th Century is Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s Ugolino and His Sons from 1861, based on a story of greed from Dante’s Inferno. The original marble version is permanently displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and placed greedily in a corner, right next to the coffee stand to boost the museum’s sales of cappuccinos and scones!
