EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by Francois Dubois, titled "Erection of the Obelisk of Luxor in Place de la Concorde, October 25, 1836," offers a glimpse into Parisian history and the awe-inspiring engineering feat of the past. The 8th arrondissement of Paris, in the heart of the city, serves as the backdrop for this academic masterpiece. The Obelisk of Luxor, an ancient Egyptian monument, was transported from Egypt to France in the 19th century and erected in Place de la Concorde, a square renowned for its iconic architecture and historic significance. In the painting, a large crowd of Parisians, both men and women, gather around Place de la Concorde to witness the monument's installation. The spectators, dressed in the fashion of the era, stand in awe as the obelisk is raised, with the help of a large crane, into its final position. The painting captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment, as the Parisian crowd watches intently, some with fascination, others with curiosity, and a few with skepticism. The painting's rich, vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer back in time to this historic moment. The oil on canvas masterpiece, now housed in the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, is a testament to the artistic and historical heritage of France and the enduring allure of its capital city.
