An Argument in the Corridors of the Opera, 1889
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a dramatic moment amidst the opulent setting of a Parisian opera house. Painted by Jean Béraud, this oil on canvas print measures 37x53 cm and is housed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. In this scene, we witness a heated altercation unfolding between two individuals in the crowded corridors. The atmosphere is charged with tension as onlookers gather to witness this unexpected quarrel during an interval. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and commotion through his meticulous brushstrokes. The figures are dressed in elegant attire befitting a night at the theater - top hats and tailcoats dominate the scene. Gas lights flicker overhead, casting an ethereal glow upon their faces as they engage in what appears to be a violent dispute. One man raises his hand mid-slap while another recoils from its impending impact. Béraud's painting not only captures a fleeting moment of conflict but also provides us with insight into society's dynamics during that era. It serves as a reminder that even within refined settings like an opera house, domestic squabbles can erupt unexpectedly. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from 1889, we are transported back in time to experience both the glamour and underlying tensions of Parisian society.
