About the piece
Created in 1886 by François Schommer, this oil sketch is a preparatory study for a ceiling mural at the Pantin Town Hall in Paris. Entitled 'Peace and the City of Pantin,' the work showcases the artist's masterful use of light and expressive, painterly brushwork to create a dynamic sense of celestial movement.
