January 21[edit]

File:Van Gogh - Die Brücke von Langlois in Arles1.jpeg[edit]

I was just wondering if this water color by Vincent is still owned by a private collector as it states in the file, how current is your information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caterina49 (talkcontribs) 00:20, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In his 2006 edition of The Life and Work of Van Gogh, Nordenfalk states that the painting is owned by a collector.
But, Frommer's (2011) identifies the painting as part of the Groninger Museum's collection in the passage about the museum. [But, the 1883 date is incorrect]
Of course the problem could stem from the fact that this is part of a series of the same subject, in 1888: Langlois Bridge at Arles (Van Gogh series). [Searching with catalog numbers (F 1480, JH 1382) might be helpful.]
► It was sold on 4 November 2003 at Christie's (Sale 1299, Lot 21); buyer not specified; presumably a private party.

Internal reaction of the Invasion of Grenada[edit]

The article Invasion of Grenada only mentions the U.S. and international reactions, but does not mention the internal reaction (i.e. of the locals/Grenadines). Is there anywhere else that has information on their reaction? Thanks in advance, Sunfoo (talk) 20:09, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
