Esquisse pour la mairie du 4ème - le 14 juillet 1880, 1884
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by the renowned French artist Paul Albert Besnard, created in 1884. The painting depicts a lively and colorful celebration of Bastille Day, the French national holiday commemorating the storming of the Bastille fortress in 1789 and the beginning of the French Revolution. The scene unfolds in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, with the Bastille geographical feature visible in the background, serving as a reminder of the historical significance of the day. The painting is filled with a vibrant palette of colors, as men and women, dressed in their finest attire, gather together to mark the anniversary. A barge adorned with French flags and decorative banners sails along the Seine River, adding to the festive atmosphere. Men can be seen hoisting the flags, while women watch from the banks, some waving handkerchiefs in the air. A man in traditional French attire stands at the front of the barge, holding a large flag aloft. The interior of the painting is equally impressive, with intricately decorated walls and a sense of grandeur that adds to the overall effect. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of French art and the enduring spirit of the French people. Paul Albert Besnard, a master of academic art, expertly captures the essence of the scene, using oil on canvas to bring the celebration to life. The painting is now a cherished part of the collection at the Petit Palais museum in Paris, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Esquisse pour la mairie du 4ème : le 14 juillet 1880, 1884 is a stunning example of the decorative arts of the 19th century, and a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of France.
