Chopin playing the piano in Prince Radziwill's salon
1887
19世紀後半のヨーロッパにおけるアカデミズム絵画を代表する巨匠の一人。
In the center of a lavishly decorated salon, young Frédéric Chopin sits at the piano.
Surrounding him are members of the Polish noble Radziwill family, dressed in opulent gowns, listening intently to his performance.
It's a vibrant and elegant scene of 19th-century aristocratic society.
However, at the time this painting was created, the painter Siemiradzki's homeland, Poland, had been partitioned by great powers and had disappeared from the world map.
