Design History:
The Franco-German artist Édouard Baribeaud likes to combine mythical events with present moments. Here, a young woman half-concealed by a screen appears almost like an extension of its painted procession of amazons. In this composite interior, where antique mosaics feature alongside modern furniture, she seems to be preparing for a dinner or celebration. The scene abounds with contemporary and symbolic elements, such as a vinyl record that conveys the party atmosphere. Displayed in medallions around the edges of the design are emblems such as the owl, an allegory of wisdom, and the pomegranate, the fruit symbolic of fertility and knowledge.
