About the piece

Painted in 1801 by Jean-Baptiste Cazin, this oil work captures a momentous public celebration in the Place de la Concorde. The composition centers on a temporary neoclassical theater erected for the Festival of Peace, surrounded by soldiers, citizens, and merchants, all depicted with meticulous detail under a vast and atmospheric Parisian sky.
