EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch by Moreau De Tours, titled "Marriage, 1880," captures the essence of a traditional wedding ceremony in the heart of Paris during the 19th century. The artist masterfully depicts the interior of the salle des mariages (wedding hall) located in the town hall of the 2nd arrondissement. The scene is filled with an air of romance and reverence as the bride and groom exchange vows in the presence of a priest and witnesses. The bride, dressed in a stunning, voluminous white gown adorned with intricate lace and a veil, stands demurely beside her groom. He wears a formal suit with a top hat and a proud expression on his face. The couple's outfits, along with the bridesmaids in their elegant, flowing dresses, are reminiscent of the fashion trends of the time. The interior of the room is adorned with rich colors and ornate details, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the occasion. The mural on the wall behind the couple is a testament to the enduring tradition of marriage, with scenes of couples from various periods of history depicted in togas and other traditional attire. This sketch, created by Moreau De Tours in 1880, offers a glimpse into the past and the timeless beauty of the wedding ceremony. It is a treasure of heritage art that continues to inspire and delight viewers, transporting them to a romantic era of love, commitment, and tradition.
