Painting Description
"First Communion" is a painting by Louis Béroud, a French artist best known for hisictions of public scenes in Paris. Completed in 1896, the artwork captures the religious rite of passage, the First Communion, a sacrament the Roman Catholic Church and some Protestant churches.
Portrayed in the painting are a row of young girls, somberly dressed in customary white dresses and veils, holding prayer books and rosaries, drawing attention to the solemnity and purity of the occasion. The expressive realist style of Béroud echoes the works of his 19th-century contemporaries who attempted to represent an honest, objective reality.
Exhibited at the Salon in Paris, the finely detailed "First Communion" initially attracted attention for its accurate depiction of French bourgeois life. Today, enthusiasts continue to appreciate it for its nuanced representation of the religious life and social customs of late 19th-century France. The artwork currently resides in a private collection.
"First Communion" is another testament to Béroud's skill as a sociocultural portraitist, whose work, often categorized under the Belle Époque period, offers an evocative glimpse into a bygone era of Parisian life.
