Wall paneling 1770 - 1780

This pair of wall panels, created between 1770 and 1780 by French artist Pierre Ranson, is a prime example of 18th-century decorative painting. The panels, featuring delicate floral motifs and a central motif on the right panel, likely adorned a grand Parisian home. The panels demonstrate Ranson's mastery of the Rococo style, using light, flowing lines and pastel colors to create an elegant and airy effect. The panels are now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offering insight into the decorative arts of the French Rococo period.
