Catalogue Note
Dans cette toile, l’artiste d’origine russe Lucien Przepiorski dépeignit avec une extrême minutie l’ornementation disparue de la salle des Etats du Louvre. Depuis 1886, la riche salle abritait la peinture française du XIXe que le peintre reproduisit d’ailleurs avec soin. On reconnaît ainsi Les Illusions perdues de Charles Gleyre, des oeuvres d'Ary Scheffer, de David, d’Eugène Delacroix, de Deveria, de Prud'hon, ou encore d’Ingres.
En 1950, les stucs et dorures furent supprimés, la destination de la pièce changea et à défaut d’y voir des romantiques, on peut aujourd’hui y admirer la Joconde.
