Hi,
In the "Did you know..." section for December 2 2014, the first item states "...that Auguste Bonheur's award-winning painting La Sortie du pâturage (pictured) was made a lottery prize by the French government as a way of promoting contemporary art?". As indicated, the entry is accompanied by a thumbnail of the painting.
Clicking on the highlighted artist's name takes you to the artist's page [1] where an identical thumbnail is captioned "La Sortie du pâturage (The Return from the Pasture), 1861. Oil on canvas."
This makes 2 references to the painting as "The Return from the Pasture" and, according to the latter, its date is known to be 1861. So far so good.
However, clicking on either thumbnail brings the user to the painting's page [2], where the picture is the same as that shown in the thumbnails, but is titled "The Way To Market" whose date is unknown.
So.
Firstly, one of the titles is clearly incorrect: the painting is EITHER "The Return from the Pasture" OR "The Way To Market", not both.
Second, if the painting IS "The Return from the Pasture", the date is not unknown but clearly given on the artist's page as 1861.
Good luck! :-)
