EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Charles Garnier, the renowned French architect, as he sits proudly on his magnum opus - the Opera Garnier. The cartoon-like depiction adds a touch of whimsy to this otherwise serious subject matter. Garnier's larger-than-life presence is evident in his confident posture and commanding gaze. He exudes an air of accomplishment and mastery over his creation, which stands tall behind him. The Opera Garnier itself is a masterpiece of architectural grandeur, with its intricate details and majestic facade. The artist, Henri Meyer, skillfully portrays Garnier in this caricatured form, emphasizing certain features such as his prominent mustache and expressive eyes. This playful interpretation adds a lightheartedness to the image while still paying homage to Garnier's immense talent. As one gazes at this photograph print, it becomes clear that it encapsulates not only the artistic genius of Charles Garnier but also the spirit of Parisian culture during that time period. It serves as a reminder of France's rich history in architecture and its commitment to excellence in the arts. This particular piece from Leonard de Selva's collection offers viewers a glimpse into both past and present; it allows us to appreciate Garnier's contribution while simultaneously immersing ourselves in the beauty and allure of 19th-century Paris.
