EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "The Cooper of Palais des Thermes de Julien," was created by the Italian artist Francesco Fidanza around 1800. The image transports us back to the 19th century and invites us to explore the historic thermal baths of Julien in Paris, France. The painting depicts a cooper, or barrel maker, at work inside the grand Palais des Thermes de Julien. The high ceiling, adorned with intricate architectural details and a dark, canvas material, adds to the sense of grandeur and history. The cooper is shown in the foreground, surrounded by barrels made of wooden staves and bound with thick, hemp ropes. He is in the midst of shaping a barrel, his chisel poised to strike a blow. The background is filled with people, both men and women, engaged in various activities. Some are bathing in the thermal waters, while others are watching the cooper at work or socializing. The warm glow of torchlight casts an orange hue over the scene, adding to the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of French and Italian art and the historical significance of the thermal baths of Julien. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and occupations of people during this era. The painting is now part of the collection of the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, a renowned institution dedicated to preserving the history of Paris and its people.
