EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an esquisse, or sketch, by renowned French painter Fernand Cormon for the ceiling design of the Petit Palais' Nord Gallery, titled "La Révolution française" (The French Revolution), created in 1912. The intricate design, a testament to Cormon's artistic mastery, was intended for the interior decoration of the museum in Paris. The sketch, painted on a large canvas, showcases the vibrant colors and rich detail of the proposed mural. Gold leaf and other metallic accents add an opulent touch to the design, which features dynamic figures and symbols representative of the French Revolution. The rebellion and revolution are depicted in a grand, sweeping manner, reflecting the historical significance and grandeur of the event. Fernand Cormon, a prominent figure in French art during the early 20th century, collaborated with his wife, Anne Piestre Cormon, and his brother-in-law, Fernand Piéstra, on this ambitious project. The design was intended to be a permanent feature of the Petit Palais, one of Paris' most esteemed museums, and a symbol of the country's artistic and cultural heritage. The interior of the museum, with its high ceilings and ornate decorations, provides the perfect setting for this stunning work of art. The sketch serves as a glimpse into the creative process behind the creation of this iconic mural, which continues to inspire and captivate visitors to the Petit Palais to this day.
