"L’espérance takes us from what we believe to be possible to what we believe to be probable, and also what we hold to be ultimately true. As such, it is more affirmative than hope. A more fitting translation might be "confident expectations". Charles Dicken’s novel Great Expectations is accordingly translated as De Grandes Espérances, whereas the Cap de Bonne-Espérance is less convincingly translated as Cape of Good Hope."
Lewis Carroll

Arkhip Kuindzhi
"Red Sunset on the Dnieper"
On 21 March 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Kuindzhi Art Museum was damaged in a Russian airstrike during the siege of Mariupol. Although three original paintings by Kuindzhi that had been held in the collection—a sketch for Red Sunset, and two preparatory works, Elbrus and Autumn—had been placed in the museum's basement prior to the bombing and were not damaged, they were then taken by Russia as part of its looting campaign.
