EDITORS COMMENTS
Esquisse pour la salle des mariages de la mairie de Saint-Maur-des-Fossés: Vertus civiques, 1883" is a captivating oil painting by the renowned French artist Edouard Michel Lancon. This masterpiece, created in the late 19th century, is a stunning representation of the interior design of the marriage hall at the town hall of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés during the Third Republic. The painting showcases the circular room in exquisite detail, with its ornate columns, intricate moldings, and the large, arched window that lets in the natural light. At the center of the room, a mother is depicted seated on a plush chair, cradling her baby in her arms. The mother's serene expression and the tender way she looks at her child convey the virtues of motherhood and the importance of family. The title "Vertus civiques" translates to "Civic Virtues," suggesting that this painting was meant to celebrate the values of education, learning, and community that were central to the Third Republic. The use of impressionist techniques, such as the loose brushstrokes and the play of light and shadow, adds to the painting's overall charm and timeless appeal. This artwork, now a cherished part of France's cultural heritage, is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Petit Palais in Paris, where it is currently housed. The painting invites us to reflect on the enduring values of family, community, and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
