From "The Shoemaker" in 1894 to "A Drama in the Serail, " these oil on canvas paintings capture the essence of humanity's struggles and triumphs. Intriguingly dark yet thought-provoking, "The Skeleton of Death Murdering a Bookseller" depicts an eerie encounter with mortality. Meanwhile, a painted plaster sculpture titled "Representation of a Tarasque Beating a Man" showcases man's perpetual battle against mythical creatures. Delving further into history, we discover Judith holding Holofernes' head in a captivating 17th-century oil painting. The intensity portrayed is nothing short of mesmerizing. Equally powerful is "Christ Fainted After the Flogging, " where anguish and suffering are palpable on canvas. Moving beyond paintings, we encounter porcelain figures from late 17th-century Edo Period Japan – two karako casually seated upon drums. These delicate sculptures remind us that even amidst chaos, serenity can be found. Venturing back in time to ancient Rome, witness "The Abduction of the Sabines. " This oil painting captures both beauty and violence as emotions collide within its brushstrokes. Similarly impactful is "The Death of Caius Gracchus, " transporting us to ancient times with its vivid depiction. Shifting gears from traditional art forms to newspaper engravings reveals another facet – societal turmoil captured by artists like Gustave Eiffel himself. In one engraving titled "Exploits d'Apaches (Bandits): During the Fire of a Factory, " chaos reigns supreme as bandits attack agents during Parisian unrest.
