| Remarks | The children's hospital Anna Meyer in Florence, founded in 1884, was one of the first children's hospitals in Europe. From the end of September 1891 until the end of August 1892, Henri Goovaerts was on a study trip in Florence after he had won the Prix de Rome in 1890. One of the things he worked on during this period was a copy of Botticelli's Primavera for the Rijksakademie (State Academy of Fine Arts) in Amsterdam. |
