Objectivity in Art
He stops the offensive to see a painting by Le Brun he had always admired, the one with Alexander in the tent of Darius. The queens, supplicant, at his feet. The dark-skinned servants, frightful, with their hands on their heads. He’s on the left, great, hands wide open as if he were vainly pontificating or asking for forgiveness. The general sentiment of the piece is one of incredulity. In all that he sees a symbol and an allegory of what was happening and was going to happen.
Satisfied, he leaves Versailles: he’ll soon have to march down Champs-Élysées.
