Pris en Plein Sieste, 1842
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Jean-Baptiste Madou that captures the essence of a rustic tavern scene in 19th-century France. This charming artwork depicts an interior filled with laughter, merriment, and indulgence. In the foreground of the composition, we see a group of people enjoying their meal at a long wooden table. The atmosphere is lively as men and women engage in animated conversation while savoring their food and drink. Two dogs eagerly await any scraps that may fall from the table, adding to the bustling ambiance. Amidst this jovial setting, our attention is drawn to a couple seated on one side of the table. The woman appears to be overcome with laughter, her eyes sparkling with joy. Her companion gazes at her affectionately while taking a momentary break from his own supper. The artist's skillful brushwork brings out every detail within this scene - from the succulent ham on display to the worn-out expressions on some faces hinting at overindulgence. As daylight streams through an open window onto this convivial gathering, it casts gentle shadows upon those who have succumbed to post-meal drowsiness. Madou's "Pris en Plein Sieste" invites us into this intimate moment where time seems suspended in blissful tranquility. It serves as both a celebration of simple pleasures and an homage to French tavern culture during that era. This exquisite print captures all
