About the piece
Painted in 1805 by Antoine-Jean Gros, this work captures the solemn 'Blessing of the Flags' on the square of Notre-Dame. The painting showcases Gros's skill in handling large-scale compositions, juxtaposing the soaring Gothic architecture of the cathedral with the detailed activity of the gathered crowd and cavalry.
