Replica of The Hémicycle, 1853. Creator: Charles Beranger
Replica of The Hemicycle, 1853.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas replica of The Hemicycle, created by Charles Beranger in 1853, is a faithful representation of Jean-Victor Marie Victor Delaroche's famous mural in the auditorium of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. Delaroche's pupil, Beranger, began the replica in 1841 but unfortunately passed away before its completion. The master then took over and finished the work in 1853. This painting served as the basis for L.-P. Henriquel-Dupont's engraving reproducing the composition. The Hemicycle, also known as the Debating Chamber, is a panoramic view of a legislative assembly in ancient Greece, set against a backdrop of European political and social class. The group of politicians, dressed in their formal attire, are engaged in intense debate, their expressions conveying a range of emotions from intense focus to passionate disagreement. The rich colors and intricate details of the artwork transport us back to the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the European political and artistic heritage. The rectangular format of the painting, with its elongated shape, adds to the sense of grandeur and importance of the scene. The artwork's historical significance, combined with its beautiful composition and intricate details, make it a must-see for anyone interested in 19th-century art, architecture, or European politics. This replica, now housed in the Walters Art Museum, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Delaroche and Beranger's artistic mastery.
