About the piece
Created in 1915 by Joseph-Félix Bouchor, this painting captures President Raymond Poincaré presenting decorations to French soldiers during World War I. The ceremony takes place on the Esplanade des Invalides, with the grand architecture of the dome rising into a pale, atmospheric sky. The artist's loose, painterly style lends a sense of immediacy and light to this solemn historical moment.
