About the piece
Created in 1878 by Sébastien Charles Giraud, this oil painting offers a romanticized historical reconstruction of the Great Hall of the Palais de la Cité. The composition highlights the impressive scale of the Gothic architecture, with its rhythmic arches and soaring timber ceiling, while clusters of figures in period dress bring a sense of life and history to the immense space.
