Leaving the Lycee Condorcet, 1903 - A Glimpse into Parisian School Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time at the iconic Lycee Condorcet in Paris, France. Painted by Jean Beraud in 1903, this oil on canvas masterpiece offers a unique glimpse into the end of term ritual at this prestigious school. In the foreground, we see a group of schoolchildren eagerly making their way out of the grand entrance, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. Some are accompanied by their parents or older siblings who have come to collect them after another day of learning and growth. The air is thick with joyous chatter as friends reunite and families embrace. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure is meticulously painted, each expression conveying a different emotion. Amidst all the commotion stands an authoritative teacher bidding farewell to his students while keeping watch over them like a guardian angel. What makes this painting truly intriguing is its portrayal of social norms during that era. Noticeably, some pupils can be seen smoking cigarettes - an act that was not uncommon among young adults back then but would certainly raise eyebrows today. With its vibrant colors and lively atmosphere, "Leaving the Lycee Condorcet" transports us back in time to experience a slice of Parisian school life from more than a century ago. It serves as both an artistic marvel and historical document that continues to captivate viewers worldwide.
