EDITORS COMMENTS
Emile-Henri Blanchon's captivating sketch, titled "Sketch for the Lobau gallery of the Hotel de Ville in Paris: Works to establish a square, c1890," offers a glimpse into the industrial past of Paris during the 19th century. The painting depicts a group of four laborers, dressed in work clothes and hats, engaged in the construction of a square in the 19th arrondissement, near Buttes Chaumont. The scene takes place indoors, within the Lobau gallery of the Hotel de Ville, which served as an institution for the display and preservation of art and historical artifacts. The oil painting, rich in color and detail, captures the essence of the working class during this period. The laborers, with their determined expressions and focused demeanor, embody the hard work and dedication required to build and shape the city. The industrial setting is evident in the background, with the Sibyl Temple and the Petit Palais visible in the distance, symbolizing the progress and development of Paris. Blanchon's skillful use of oil paint brings the scene to life, allowing viewers to connect with the history and heritage of the city. The painting serves as a reminder of the importance of labor and the role it plays in shaping the built environment. This sketch is a valuable addition to any collection of French art, offering a unique perspective on the social and industrial history of Paris during the 19th century.
