La Révélation artistique by Paul Gasq, Allegorical statue at Grand Palais, Paris, France
La Révélation artistique by Paul Gasq is a bronze statue housed within the Grand Palais, depicting human figures that interweave artistic expression with natural force. The composition shows fine detail in surface treatment and a thoughtful arrangement of forms that work together as a unified whole.
The statue was created for the 1900 Universal Exhibition and stands as a statement of artistic vision during the Belle Époque. It was made when Paris was commissioning large-scale works for its grand public spaces.
The work reflects how Parisians of that era saw art as deeply connected to the natural world around them. Walking around it, you can feel how the figures seem to bridge the gap between human creativity and nature.
The statue is located inside the Grand Palais and is accessible to visitors during the building's opening hours. The nearest metro stations are Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau and Franklin D. Roosevelt, both within walking distance of the entrance.
Gasq embedded specific symbolic meanings within each figure, revealing his personal interpretation of artistic creation. These symbols together tell a story about the power of artistic vision in the modern world of his era.
