EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch by Luc Olivier Merson, titled 'Festival Staircase at the Hotel de Ville in Paris: The Geniuses of Festivals, beginning 1888-1898,' showcases the artist's masterful ability to blend mythology, art nouveau, and historic charm. The image, created in the late 19th century, is a preliminary design for a decorative panel that was intended for the interior of the Paris Town Hall, or Hotel de Ville. Merson's composition features a grand staircase adorned with an array of cherubs, amorini, and putti, each one representing various aspects of festivity and merriment. The cherubs, with their chubby bodies and mischievous grins, frolic among vibrant flowers, ribbons, and fruits, adding a playful and whimsical touch to the design. The color palette of the sketch is rich and warm, with hues of red, gold, and green dominating the scene. The use of oil paint allows Merson to capture the intricate details of the cherubs' features, their flowing robes, and the delicate patterns on the staircase. The overall concept of the piece is reminiscent of the historic festivals that once took place in Paris, celebrating the city's heritage and traditions. The cherubs and putti are depicted as the embodiment of these festivities, making the artwork a beautiful tribute to the joy and entertainment that festivals bring. The Festival Staircase was eventually installed at the Petit Palais Museum in Paris, where it remains an iconic piece of 19th-century decorative art and a testament to Merson's artistic genius. This sketch offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and the inspiration behind one of Paris' most cherished museum treasures.
