About the piece
This 1899 oil painting by Victor Marec documents a pivotal moment in Parisian history: the installation of Jules Dalou’s 'Triomphe de la République' at the Place de la Nation. Marec uses a loose, painterly style to render the complex wooden scaffolding and the dramatic, sweeping clouds, creating a sense of industrious energy and historic gravity.
