"The Palais du Corps Législatif after the Last Sitting on 4th September 1870" is a historical painting by French artist Jacques Guiaud, capturing a significant moment in French history. The artwork depicts the interior of the Palais Bourbon, home to the Corps Législatif (Legislative Body) of the Second French Empire, in the immediate aftermath of its last session before the collapse of the Empire following the disastrous Battle of Sedan during the Franco-Prussian War.

Created in the 19th century, Guiaud's painting serves as a visual record of the political turmoil and the end of an era. The Corps Législatif, established under Napoleon I and continuing under Napoleon III, was dissolved after this final sitting, marking a pivotal transition as the Third Republic was soon proclaimed. The Palais itself, located in Paris, has since continued to be a center of political life in France, now housing the National Assembly, the lower legislative chamber of the French government.

Jacques Guiaud (1810–1876) was known for his detailed cityscapes and historical scenes. In this work, he meticulously portrays the grandeur of the Palais interior and the sense of uncertainty that must have pervaded among the legislators. The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical value, offering insight into the political climate of the time and the aesthetics of governmental spaces in 19th-century France.

The painting is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of a historical moment, and it remains an important work for those interested in the intersection of art, history, and politics during a turbulent period in France's past.
