Esquisse pour la mairie du 15e arrondissement - En temps de guerre, 1884
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative oil painting by Jacques Ferdinand Humbert and Pierre Lagarde, showcasing an allegorical scene of the Siege of Paris in 1870. The painting, which is now part of the collections at the Petit Palais in Paris, depicts a healing scene indoors, where injured men and women are receiving care by a female figure, symbolizing the healing power of the community during wartime. The allegorical figure is positioned in front of a grand fireplace, its mantelpiece adorned with an intricate mural and an ornate overmantel. The fireplace, a common architectural feature in 19th century French interiors, adds a sense of warmth and comfort to the scene. The doors behind the figure are slightly ajar, suggesting a sense of continuity between the interior and the outside world. The painting is executed in rich, vibrant colors, with the red and blue hues of the injured men's uniforms contrasting against the warm tones of the interior. The use of oil painting technique adds depth and texture to the painting, making the figures and architectural features appear lifelike and realistic. The painting is a testament to the artistic school of the late 19th century, which often explored themes of healing, health, and the human condition. The allegorical figures and symbolic use of architectural features were common motifs in this period, reflecting the cultural and artistic heritage of France. The painting is a valuable addition to any collection of French art or historical paintings, and is a reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit during times of war and adversity. The intricate details and allegorical figures make it a fascinating piece to study and appreciate, and it continues to inspire and captivate viewers to this day.
