About the piece
Painted by Louis Béroud in 1889, this work captures the awe-inspiring interior of the Galerie des Machines during the Exposition Universelle in Paris. The composition juxtaposes the massive, dark iron machinery against the light-filled glass architecture of the pavilion, while elegantly dressed visitors and workers in traditional regional costumes provide a fascinating glimpse into the social fabric of the era.
