Edouard Louis Dubufe · 1856
Why it's great
Diplomats in black coats sit around a big table at the signing of the treaty that ended the Crimean War, in a grand room. Dubufe painted the 1856 meeting with a formal arrangement. It's an official record of an important moment. It's a window into European history.
