Les Déménagements
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Move), painted by Louis Leopold Boilly around 1840, captures a poignant moment in the lives of a Parisian family during the 19th century. The oil painting depicts a horse-drawn carriage filled to the brim with furniture, household items, and belongings, signifying a move to a new location. The family, consisting of a man, a woman, and several children, bid farewell to their old home, represented by the quaint, red-brick building in the background. Boilly masterfully employs a vibrant color palette to bring the scene to life. The contrasting colors of the blue sky, green trees, and red brick buildings create a picturesque backdrop for the horse-drawn cart. The children, dressed in fashionable attire of the Romantic Era, add a touch of innocence and curiosity to the scene. The family dog, perched on the back of the cart, seems to be the only one not burdened by the upheaval. The painting is a metaphor for the transient nature of life and the inevitable changes that come with it. The concept of moving house was a common theme during the Romantic Era, a period of great social and cultural change. The painting is a testament to the heritage and history of Paris, showcasing the city's rich past and the people who lived there. "Les Déménagements" is a valuable addition to the collection of the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's renowned museums. The painting is a testament to Boilly's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in Paris during the 19th century. The painting is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of Parisians during a time of great change and upheaval.
