1854
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
France No. 3 is a 1854 by Joseph Nash, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This room is packed with art and oddities. Statues of people and animals sit on tables, while paintings hang on the walls. A man in a yellow coat kneels by a table, and others stand around, looking at the objects. The walls are covered in red curtains and a big tapestry with a scene of people and animals. The sign on the wall says "Cobelins," which might be the name of this place. It looks like a mix of a shop and a museum, with everything on display for people to see. If you like this kind of scene, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This lithograph depicts the French section of the Great Exhibition of 1851, where visitors observe sculptural works and paintings. In the foreground, a sculpture features an angel grooming its wings, accompanied by a dog. The image is one of a series produced by the Dickinson Brothers, based on original paintings commissioned for Prince Albert.
