Near or Far - All Trades Need to be Touched by a Reflection of Art - Trades - Sketch for the Drawing Room in the School in Rue Dombasle, 15th Arrondissement of Paris, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative title for this 19th century oil painting by French artist Edmond Eugene Valton. The work, which measures an impressive 51 x 65 cm, showcases four men from various trades gathered around a table in a drawing room setting, each lost in thought as they contemplate a sketch or blueprint before them. The painting, which hangs in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, is a testament to the importance of art in all aspects of life, including the world of work. Valton masterfully captures the essence of each man's occupation through their attire and the tools at their side - a printer, a printer's assistant, a tradesman, and a worker. The use of rich oil paint and vibrant colors brings the scene to life, transporting us back to the 19th century and inviting us to ponder the role of art in our own trades and professions. The painting is a reminder that art is not just for the elite or the wealthy, but for everyone, regardless of social class or occupation. It is a reflection of the human spirit and our innate desire to create and innovate. The men in Valton's painting are not just workers or tradesmen, but skilled artisans, each contributing to the heritage of their craft and passing down their knowledge to future generations. The painting's location in the Petit Palais museum in Paris, a renowned institution dedicated to the preservation and celebration of French art, further emphasizes the importance of art in our collective heritage and cultural identity. Valton's "Near or Far: All Trades Need to be Touched by a Reflection of Art" is a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers, reminding us of the power of art to bring people together and elevate the human experience.
