EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch, titled "Esquisse pour la mairie du 10ème arrondissement de Paris : L'odorat - Parfums du soir" (Sketch for the town hall of the 10th arrondissement of Paris: The Scent - Perfumes of the evening), was created by the renowned French artist Henri-Eugène Delacroix between 1905 and 1908. The painting captures the allure of the evening, with its rich colors and sensory elements that transport us to a bygone era. The centerpiece of the composition is a woman, her face illuminated by the soft glow of an indoor setting. She is surrounded by an array of blossoms and plants, their delicate petals releasing their scents into the air. An incense burner sits nearby, adding to the intoxicating aroma that fills the room. The painting is a testament to the power of the senses, particularly the sense of smell. Delacroix masterfully captures the essence of the evening, with the scent of the flowers and incense creating a sense of calm and tranquility. The painting is reminiscent of the interior decoration and design of Parisian town halls during the early 20th century. The mural-like composition is typical of the oil painting technique, with its thick brushstrokes and rich colors that bring the scene to life. This artwork is a treasure of French heritage art and can be found in various museums and galleries throughout Paris, including the Petit Palais. It is a reminder of the beauty and allure of the natural world, and the importance of taking time to appreciate the senses, particularly the sense of smell, in our daily lives.
