En effet, le traité impose l'échange de populations civiles et définit les termes de cette migration forcée des deux côtés de la mer Égée.

Pour clore en beauté l'exposition Peinture de Sienne, BOZAR EXPO organise un colloque sur l'influence des icônes byzantines sur la peinture flamande.

This form of religious painting would remain common throughout Christendom until the 19th century. (...) - 2. Past Events
