A Sophisticated Mural.

Rue Véron.

La fresque de la rue Veron . Je suis tombé par hasard sur cette fresque et je ne sais pas exactement à quoi elle se réfère. Elle m’évoque indubitablement quelque chose mais je ne parviens pas à mettre un nom sur ce souvenir imprécis. Est-ce un souvenir littéraire, une scène d’opéra ? un film, une chanson, une autre œuvre picturale ?
Cette fresque je la trouve belle, et assez sophistiquée avec ces ajouts de cadre en bois, de volets et de petites portes, de papiers peints. Les couleurs sont harmonieuses, pas tapageuses, ni agressives contrairement à beaucoup de fresques murales. Les deux soldats, à l’allure décontractée, nous fixent. Ils semblent me défier de trouver le résultat de l’énigme. La femme regarde quelque chose qui se trouve situé au-dessus de nous là où se trouve probablement la solution....


I stumbled upon this mural and I don’t know exactly what it refers to. It undoubtedly reminds me of something, but I can’t put a name to it. Is it a literary memory, an opera scene? a film, a song, another pictorial work?
I find this mural beautiful, and quite sophisticated with these additions of wooden frame, shutters and small doors, wallpaper. The colours are harmonious, not flashy, nor aggressive, unlike many wall frescoes. The two soldiers, at a relaxed pace, stare at us. They seem to challenge me to find the result of the riddle. The woman is looking at something that is above us where the solution is, probably....

Fascinating! I agree that this could be a literary allusion - or maybe a dream of another era. What an amazing mural.

What a fascinating bit of Artwork! I also am looking at this for quite some time trying to put a story to it. Well photographed. V

It certainly is unique. It's frustrating when you think that you should know but it escapes you.
One wonders why it is painted to miss a part of the head. "V"

a complex and compelling art work what ever the ultimate meaning or reference....the soldiers seem almost mirror images of one another, and the woman's gaze is riveting..
