EDITORS COMMENTS
John-Lewis Brown's Esquisse pour le salon des Sciences de l'Hotel de Ville: Le champ de courses de Longchamp, painted around 1889, captures the lively atmosphere of a day at the races at Longchamp in Paris. The oil painting on canvas portrays a bustling scene filled with spectators, soldiers, and the Mont Valerien backdrop. The location, Longchamp racecourse, has been a popular destination for Parisians and tourists alike since the 1850s, offering an escape from the city for a day of excitement and entertainment. The painting showcases the diverse crowd, with people dressed in their finest attire, gathered around the racecourse, eagerly watching the horses and jockeys. Soldiers in uniforms stand guard, adding an element of security and order to the scene. The Mont Valerien hill in the background provides a picturesque backdrop, with its rolling green hills and stunning views of Paris. The painting was originally created as a sketch for the Salon des Sciences de l'Hotel de Ville, a prestigious exhibition held at the Town Hall of Paris. The interior decoration of the Petit Palais museum in Paris now proudly displays this stunning work of art as a mural, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience the charm and excitement of a day at the races in 19th century France. The transportation depicted in the painting, including stagecoaches and horse-drawn carriages, adds to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds the Longchamp racecourse. This painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of horse racing and the unique cultural heritage it represents in France and beyond.
