Catalogue Note
Célèbre pour ses scènes de batailles du Second Empire, Adolphe Yvon fut l'élève de Paul Delaroche auprès duquel il étudia l'art des fresques historiques. Il exposa au Salon à partir de 1841 où il obtint une médaille d'honneur en 1857.
Le paravent présenté ici se situe davantage dans l'héritage des grands décors animaliers du XVIIIe siècle, rappelant ainsi les cartons de Desportes pour la Savonnerie, à l'instar du paravent conservé au Musée Nassim de Camondo (inv. CAM 141). Une série très similaire de cinq panneaux aux oiseaux par Yvon est visible de nos jours au château de Compiègne, encastrée sur les portes du couloir des Maréchaux au musée du Second Empire.
