Musée d'Orsay, Paris

The Théatre des Champs Élysées was designed by a daring group of artists: architects Van de Velde and the Perret Brothers, the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle who carved Isadora Duncan among others in the bas-reliefs on the façade, the painters Maurice Denis and Edouard Vuillard and René Lalique who designed the lights.

The picture shows the model of the cupola decoration.
