Sobre a pintura
Nas palavras do museu — em francês
Antoine Bourdelle, plus connu pour ses sculptures que pour ses peintures pourtant de très belles factures, a vécu toute sa vie à Paris. Il connaît bien sa banlieue Ouest (Saint-Cloud, Meudon..) et réalise en 1910 ce beau tableau mettant à la fois en avant le côté champêtre du site de l'Observatoire, situé dans les anciens jardins du château du 17e siècle, et sa surprenante modernité avec son emblématique coupole surplombant la ville.

1908
Breaks with Rodin and sets out on his own
In 1908 Bourdelle left Rodin’s studio and set out on his own: the paths of teacher and pupil finally parted. He was satisfied neither by the pompous style of Napoleon III’s Second Empire nor by the naturalistic methods of Rodin.
1909
“Hercules the Archer” shown at the Salon
In 1909 Bourdelle exhibited a new work, “Hercules the Archer”, at the annual Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. The statue’s desperate tension and dynamism stay within the frontality of ancient art and echo the Heracles from the pediment of the Temple of Aphaia on Aegina, around 500 BC.
1909–1929
Twenty years of teaching at the Grande Chaumière
From 1909 to 1929 Bourdelle taught at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière; his students included Germaine Richier, Alberto Giacometti, Margaret Cossaceanu, Isaac Frenkel and Adaline Kent.
1912–1914
Vera Mukhina comes to study with him
In 1912–1914 the outstanding Russian sculptor Vera Mukhina studied with Bourdelle at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris and took a great deal from her teacher.
