About the piece
This expressive oil study by Adolphe Yvon captures a momentous historical scene: King Philip Augustus taking leave of his family before departing for the Holy Land. Intended as a sketch for a larger mural at the Hôtel de Ville de Paris, the work showcases Yvon's masterful academic technique through bold brushwork and a rich, dramatic palette.
