EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in French history. Taken on September 22,1900, it depicts the reception of mayors from all over France at the Elysee Palace. The focal point of the image is President Emile Loubet (1838-1929), who can be seen warmly shaking hands with the mayor of Versailles. The print is based on an original painting by Fernand Cormon (1845-1924), completed in 1904. Cormon was known for his realistic style and attention to detail, which is evident in this artwork. The composition beautifully portrays the grandeur and formality of the occasion. Measuring an impressive 1.72x2.57 meters, this print demands attention and invites viewers to step back in time to witness this historic event firsthand. It offers a glimpse into early 20th-century France, showcasing not only political figures but also highlighting art as a medium for capturing important moments. Displayed at Château de Versailles in France, this photograph holds immense cultural significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder of the power dynamics between politicians and local leaders during that era while celebrating French heritage. Preserved through time, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both historical events and artistic talent simultaneously—a true testament to photography's ability to capture fleeting moments forever etched into our collective memory.
