In the year 1820, a wave of cultural and artistic movements swept across the globe, leaving behind a rich tapestry of history.

Horse racing galloped onto the scene with fervor in 1820, captivating audiences with its adrenaline-fueled competitions.

Francisco de Goya's enigmatic painting "The Great He-Goat" captivated viewers' imaginations between 1820 to 1823.

London Gin Palace became synonymous with luxury and indulgence during this time. As establishments dedicated to serving gin-based beverages flourished across London, they became iconic symbols of opulence amidst an evolving urban landscape. The artistry extended beyond Europe's borders as well; Shuntei Katsukawa depicted Ichijo Jiro Tadanori battling Notonokami Noritsune in a woodblock print from around 1820. This portrayal showcases Japan's rich samurai culture while capturing their spirit of honor and bravery. Across the Atlantic Ocean, Brooklyn experienced winter magic immortalized by Louisa Ann Coleman after Francis Guy’s oil paintings from c1817-1820.
