EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment at the Louvre in Paris, France. Titled "Four o'clock, known also as Closing of the annual Salon of Painting partly installed" it depicts the bustling scene during the closure of an art exhibition in 1847. The Great Gallery at the Louvre is filled with visitors, both male and female, young and old. The room is crowded with art enthusiasts, amateurs, connoisseurs, and curious onlookers. Some are engaged in lively discussions about the paintings on display while others appear to be appreciating the artwork silently. In this snapshot of time, wardens dressed in uniforms can be seen overseeing the crowd. A sense of humor permeates through this image as one man wearing a tricorn hat passionately expresses his thoughts about a particular painting while another gentleman dons a top hat listens intently. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and energy as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate art. This print not only captures a specific historical event but also serves as a satirical commentary on society's obsession with art exhibitions. As we gaze upon this image captured by Francois Auguste Biard over 150 years ago, we are reminded that even then, art had the power to bring people together and ignite passionate conversations that transcend time.
