About the piece

Painted by Pierre-Antoine Demachy in 1794, this work documents the Fête de l'Être Suprême (Festival of the Supreme Being) held at the Champ de Mars. The composition masterfully balances the immense, detailed crowd with the neoclassical architecture of the École Militaire and an expansive, atmospheric sky typical of the artist's historical genre works.
