Medium
Painting - Oil On Wood Panel
Description
Oil painting - Rouen (France) I named my oil painting after the large oil painting in the art gallery in Rouen, painted by artist Grun in 1911, and his painting was called "A Friday at the Salon des Artistes." I incorporated that painting into my work, wanting to show the stark contrast between the old (the painting) and the new (people sitting around in the rotunda's cafe).
This, from the Rouen museum's website about that painting, "the Rouen painting is a unique illustration of Paris society in the Belle Époque. ‘Le Tout-Paris’ is shown here, from the doyen of painting, Harpignies (sitting on the right, cane in hand), in conversation with Dujardin-Beaumetz, assistant director of the Beaux-arts, to Ginette Lantelme (in the centre of the painting), wife of the manager of the newspaper Le Matin, whose beauty had all Paris in thrall, Angelo Mariani (on the left of Mme Lantelme), the popular inventor of the ‘vin Mariani’ – the ancestor of Coca-Cola – Grunberg, the celebrated doctor (bottom, extreme left) and the painters Guillemet, Rochegrosse, Baschet and Grün himself, along with many others."
Hope you enjoy it - the beauty is in its detail!
This painting is now SOLD.

Congratulations on your painting featuring people in the cafe rotunda of the museum surrounded by the paintings on the wall being selected as an Administrator's Pick of the Week in the A Woman's Touch Group! Reading your artist description very clever in weaving the example of past Paris society with the main painting on the wall titled A Friday at the Salon des Artistes to contrast/compare with the present society dining in the rotunda.
