Mystical fantasy, surrealism. Niccolo Paganini gives a concert in the Masonic Temple of the Grand Orient Lodge. The temple has high ceilings, lost in the semi-darkness. The ceremonial hall is lit by torches and candles. On the walls are mystical Masonic symbols and exquisite bas-reliefs. Paganini is on the left side of the frame, dressed in a simple linen shirt and linen pants. He stands barefoot on the marble floor. In his left hand he holds a violin and plays complex and mesmerizing music with inspiration. His music creates a whirlwind of ethereal energy in which three scantily clad witches spin in a frantic dance. At a distance, by the wall of the Masonic Temple, stand members of the Grand Orient Masonic Lodge in the ceremonial robes of masters, students and apprentices. They are enchanted by the magnificent music. Mystical light, rich shadows, high detail, crisp quality, superb composition by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, a masterpiece.
