EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1885, witnessing a historic moment at the Salon des Artistes Francais. The image captures a meeting of the judges, who have gathered in an elegant gallery space within Musee d'Orsay in Paris. From a unique and intriguing angle, we see a group of distinguished gentlemen engaged in deep discussion. Their top hats add an air of formality to the scene as they sit around a large desk adorned with papers and documents related to the exhibition. The room is filled with exquisite paintings displayed on the walls, creating an ambiance that exudes artistic excellence. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the inner workings of this prestigious art institution during its heyday. It allows us to imagine ourselves present among these esteemed individuals as they carefully deliberate over which artworks will be deemed worthy for display. The composition expertly captures both the grandeur and intimacy of such meetings, highlighting not only their importance but also revealing glimpses into each judge's personality through their body language and expressions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Peter Willi from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art has always been shaped by human judgment and discourse – decisions made behind closed doors that ultimately determine what becomes part of our cultural heritage.
