Original Description
Lionel Royer’s Esquisse pour la mairie du 10eme arrondissement de Paris : Le goût (Sketch for the 10th Arrondissement Town Hall: Taste) is a sublime allegorical work that captures the essence of 19th-century academic art. The painting, created as part of the decorative program for Paris’s 10th arrondissement town hall, embodies the grandeur and refinement of the French Beaux-Arts tradition. Royer, a student of Alexandre Cabanel and well-known for his historical and allegorical compositions, infuses the piece with luminescent detail and classical grace, showcasing a draped female figure personifying "Taste"—likely surrounded by symbolic elements like fruit or fine tableware. The soft yet dynamic interplay of light and texture reflects Royer’s academic rigor while evoking a sense of idealized beauty. Though less famous than his monumental Vercingétorix at the Musée d’Orsay, this sketch exemplifies his mastery in blending narrative depth with decorative elegance, making it a fascinating study of Third Republic civic art.
For a modern interior, Le goût would elevate a dining room or office with its refined allegorical charm. Ideal for a classic or neoclassical space, it pairs beautifully with rich wood furniture, gilded accents, and soft upholstery in cream or burgundy to complement its warm palette. Consider a medium-large frame (approx. 24x36 inches) to balance detail visibility without overwhelming the wall—position it as a focal point above a sideboard or in a study alcove. If the room features deep greens or golds, the painting’s tones will harmonize effortlessly. For contemporary settings, juxtapose it against minimalist furniture to create an intriguing contrast between old-world artistry and modern simplicity. Its theme of "Taste" makes it especially fitting for a kitchen or dining area, subtly celebrating the art of gastronomy and culture.
