EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting by Claude Charles Bourgonnier, titled "Place de l'Hotel de Ville, October 20, 1918. Demonstration in honour of the class of 1920," transports us back in time to a historic moment in Parisian history. The scene unfolds in the heart of the city's 4th arrondissement, at Place de l'Hotel de Ville, where a grandstand has been erected for an eager crowd. The date, October 20, 1918, marks the celebration of the graduating class of 1920. The vibrant colors of the tricolour flags flutter in the breeze, as horses and riders lead the procession, their proud riders waving to the cheering spectators below. A sense of patriotism and unity is palpable in the air, as men and women, dressed in their finest attire, line the square, their faces filled with excitement and pride. The painting's composition masterfully captures the energy and movement of the scene, with blurred figures in the background adding depth and dynamism. Bourgonnier's skillful use of oil on canvas brings the historic moment to life, allowing us to witness a moment in French history that continues to resonate with us today. This painting is a cherished part of the collection at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and Europe as a whole. The image invites us to reflect on the power of community and the enduring spirit of celebration, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Paris and the 20th century.
