Palais Garnier, Opera de Paris
Low angle view of the ceiling of the neo-Baroque salon du Glacier, by Charles Garnier, 1861-1875, in Palais Garnier, Opera de Paris, in Paris, France. The Clairin's paintings which adorns the rotunda depict dancing bacchantes and fauns. Completed after the opening of the building, this room has a very distinct 1900s flavour. Commissioned by Napoleon III as part of the Haussmann Parisian reconstruction project, the Palais Garnier is the 13th theatre to house the Paris Opera since its foundation, 1669, by Louis XIV.
