EDITORS COMMENTS
Esquisse pour le salon des Lettres de l'Hotel de Ville de Paris: les grandes oeuvres," a captivating work of art by Albert Maignan, dates back to the late 19th century. This masterpiece, created around 1890, is a stunning sketch for a mural that was intended for the Salon des Lettres, or Literary Salon, at the Hotel de Ville de Paris. The Hotel de Ville is the historic town hall of Paris, and the Salon des Lettres was a prestigious exhibition space for literary and artistic works. Maignan's sketch is a vibrant and intriguing representation of some of the greatest works of literature. The characters depicted include Roland, blowing his horn in the heat of battle; Celimene, the elegant and witty heroine of Molière's "The Misanthrope," holding a fan; Eviradnus, the brave knight, piercing an enemy with his sword; Mimi Pinson, a character from Offenbach's "La Vie Parisienne," playing a guitar; El Cid, the legendary Spanish hero, seated with his sword in hand; Phedre, draped in a coat, from Racine's tragic play; Eviradnus, holding a glass and a carafe; and La Cigale, the singing grasshopper, from Jean de La Fontaine's fables. The sketch is executed in black ink and oil paint on a canvas material, and its rich colors and intricate details bring the literary figures to life. The artwork is a testament to Maignan's skill as a painter and his deep understanding of the literary heritage of France. It is a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and literary culture of Paris in the late 19th century and a reminder of the enduring power of literature to inspire and captivate. This beautiful work of art is now part of the collection of the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris, one of the city's most renowned museums. It is a treasure of French heritage art and a must-see for anyone interested in the literary and artistic history of Paris and France.
