Le Roi David / King David 
1951
Oil on canvas
1.98 x 1.33 m
Musée national d’Art moderne - Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris



O Clavis David, et sceptrum domus Israel;
qui aperis, et nemo claudit;
claudis, et nemo aperit:
veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris,
sedentem in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

O Key of David and sceptre of the House of Israel;
you open and no one can shut;
you shut and no one can open:
Come and lead the prisoners from the prison house,
those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death

Charles Giraud

Terracotta Room at the Louvre, Salon of 1866

This room (currently the antique bronzes room) housed part of the collection of the marchese Campana, which was acquired by Napoleon III in 1862. Put together in Rome by the former director of the Monte di Pietà bank, the collection was made up of Etruscan antiquities (vases, weapons, Sarcophagus of the Spouses, tomb frescoes), as well as numerous paintings by 14th- and 15th-century Italian artists (many of which are currently in the Musée du Petit-Palais in Avignon).
