Esquisse pour la mairie de Suresnes - Allégorie du vin - Chevrière aux colombes (plafonds),
EDITORS COMMENTS
created by Edouard Michel Lancon in 1897, is a stunning oil on canvas painting that showcases the rich artistic heritage of France during the late 19th century. This masterpiece, which translates to "Sketch for the town hall of Suresnes: Allegory of Wine - Goatherd among Doves (ceilings)," is an allegorical representation of the wine industry and its connection to the town of Suresnes, located in the Hauts-de-Seine region of France. The painting depicts a goatherd, or herdsman, seated on a rocky outcropping, surrounded by clouds and cherubs, or putti. He holds a large wooden barrel of wine, with a goat nearby, symbolizing the traditional agricultural roots of the wine industry. Above him, a group of cherubs, or amorini, release a flock of doves, representing the abundance and freedom associated with wine. The scene is set against an oval-shaped, indoors background, suggesting the interior of a town hall or other public institution. The painting is an excellent example of Impressionist art, with its vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes. The use of oil on canvas material adds to the richness and depth of the image, making it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and delight viewers to this day. This painting is a testament to the artistic school of the time and the enduring legacy of French art during the Third Republic. It is currently housed in one of the prestigious Paris museums, such as the Petit Palais, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the cultural heritage of France.
