La Révélation artistique by Paul Gasq, Allegorical statue at Grand Palais, Paris, France

La Révélation artistique by Paul Gasq is a bronze group in the Grand Palais, known in French as L'Art et la Nature. It sets a draped female figure personifying Art beside a nude figure representing Nature, their bodies turned toward each other and linked by a shared gesture. Gasq modelled the surfaces with close attention to folds of drapery and anatomy.

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 title L'Art et la Nature names the theme: Gasq pairs a figure of Art with one of Nature, and the group was made for the 1900 Universal Exhibition at the Grand Palais. Visitors can read the two allegories by their attributes, a reminder that the building was raised as a palace of fine arts.

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.

The statue is also known as L'Art et la Nature, a title that names the two forces the group sets against each other. Look for the figure of Nature on one side and Art on the other, with the revelation happening between them.
