| dc.description | Detail, right side representing the hours of Day; This is the final sketch for the ceiling of the auditorium (main theater) of the Paris Opera (Palais Garnier). It is still in place, but covered by the ceiling painting (a stretched canvas suspended under the original ceiling) done by Marc Chagall in 1964. In 1870, Lenepveu’s friend, Charles Garnier, commissioned the ceiling of the new Opéra from him. It depicts 63 figures on Mount Olympus. Painted in an elevated style and bright colors, it showed a compositional audacity reminiscent of Lanfranco and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
