"Στις έρημες ακρογιαλιές κάθε Σεπτέμβρη ξεψυχά το καλοκαίρι.
Τα μυστικά της θάλασσας
ξεχνιούνται στο ακρογιάλι..."

The secrets of the sea
are forgotten on the beach..."

Mike Delevante - September Days (2025) … timeless and authentic …
As I set out in search of an image to commemorate the first day of September, Episodes from September Days demanded my full attention.
Even at first glance, Gustave Wapper's striking 1830 oil on canvas encapsulates perfectly my mood today: the oppressive mood of a humid summer clashing with the onset of darker days. A tumult of bodies, streaming into the foreground of life all at once after weeks of humble solitude and rest. Beauty in violence. The unease of what will remain once the streets are cleared and the darkness of autumn edges closer...
The year 1930 was marked by revolutionary fervour. Paris went through the July Revolution, which marked the end of the rule of Charles X. Delacroix painted Liberty Leading the People. Brussels, for its part, had its September Days, which ended Dutch rule over the Southern Provinces, imposed at the 1815 Congress of Vienna. Wappers created his Episode of the September Days 1830... in 1835. Commissioned by the new government of Belgium, this work was a monumental and jubilatory manifesto, exalting the recent revolution and the newly found independence of the young nation.
In a pyramidal composition, the work provides a synthesis of events of the revolution and its actors, stressing the promulgation of the proclamation Aux Citoyens de Bruxelles... ('To The Citizens of Brussels'), signed on 24 September by the Administrative Commission, which represented the Belgian authorities at the heart of the unrest.
Wappers triggered the Belgian Romantic movement, which wanted to break with Neoclassicism and pick up with the pictorial eloquence of a Rubens. Wappers revived history painting and stamped it with a national character.

Real autumn begins when night settles in early
And dark clouds fly on the sky
Above the moon, through rusty leaves
Welcoming the season of the witch.
Street lamps or jack-o lanters?
Howls of wolves through city nights
Shadows creeping,
Broom sticks flipping.
Moonbeams silver light:
Real autumn
