About the piece
Painted circa 1885 by French artist Augustin Théodule Ribot, 'The Choir' demonstrates a profound debt to the Spanish masters through its intense use of chiaroscuro. The work features three figures emerging from a deep, velvety darkness, their faces rendered with a raw, textured physicality that emphasizes the emotional weight of their song.
