Now let's move to the Night Party in Versailles by Gaston de La Touche! Today's masterpiece shows a luminous nocturnal celebration, blending myth and festivity in a dreamlike garden. Commissioned in 1905 to adorn a salon in the Élysée Palace in Paris, the painting shows a fantasy moonlit fête where elegant revelers, swans, and satyrs gather beneath cascading fountains and fireworks. La Touche’s delicate brushwork and soft palette evoke the spirit of 18th-century fête galante (an outdoor entertainment or rural festival, especially as depicted in 18th-century French painting), a style used by painters like Watteau. However, this technique reflects also the modernity of the Belle Époque. Long thought lost, the painting was discovered in the 21st century and now resides at the Château de Versailles.
