1874 (ca.), Edouard Brandon, The Synagogue -- National Gallery of Art (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the museum label:
Société Anonyme 1874, possibly no. 29
Brandon studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris before traveling to Rome, where he remained for seven years. Although he was Jewish, he spent much of that time decorating the Catholic Church of Saint Bridget. Upon his return to Paris in 1863, Brandon devoted himself to depicting scenes of Jewish life. He participated in the first Société Anonyme exhibition, where he showed Jewish subjects, similar to The Synagogue, as well as a scene from the life of the Christian martyr Saint Bridget. He did not join any other impressionist exhibitions.
