EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oil painting by Georges Rouard, titled 'Interior view of ruins of the old Court of Auditors, Quai d'Orsay, c1888,' transports us back in time to Paris in the late 19th century. The historic building depicted in the artwork was once the old Court of Auditors, located on the left bank of the Seine River in the 7th arrondissement. The Court of Auditors was an important institution in France, responsible for accounting and auditing the country's public finances. The painting captures the courtyard of the old Court of Auditors, now in ruins, with overgrown vegetation taking over the once grand building. The interior view showcases a doorway leading into the heart of the courtyard, with sunlight filtering in through the broken windows, casting a warm glow on the faded colors of the interior walls. The use of oil on canvas adds depth and texture to the painting, bringing the ruins to life. The painting is now part of the collection at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, which showcases the history of Paris and France from its origins to the present day. The old Court of Auditors, with its rich history and architectural significance, is an important part of Paris's heritage and adds to the city's cultural and historical landscape. Georges Rouard, a French painter, expertly captures the concept of the passage of time and the beauty found in the ruins of the past. This painting is a testament to the importance of preserving historical sites and institutions, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that Paris and France hold.
