Academic Art – Especially the French Academy and Nineteenth century art salons
In addition to Jean-Léon Gérôme (see art example below), another prominent Academic Art practitioner is Adolphe-William Bouguereau.
Approximate translation:
For a bedroom ceiling. By iconography "Night" is perhaps "Phoebe" exhibited at Vesoul in 1897 at the local exhibition of Fine Arts. It seems to be related to the decoration of the house of the actor Jules François Got that included four panels depicting the seasons, executed by four neo-Greek artists, including Gérôme responsible for the "Summer". The theme of the night was perhaps a complement to this set.

La Nuit, circa 1850-1855, by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904)
Pour un plafond de chambre à coucher. Par son iconographie "La nuit", correspond peut-être à "Phoebé" exposé à Vésoul en 1897 à l'exposition locale des Beaux-Arts. Il semblerait être en rapport avec la décoration de la maison de l'acteur Jules François Got qui comportait 4 panneaux illustrant les saisons, exécutée par 4 artistes néo-grecs, dont Gérôme responsable de "l'Eté". Le thème de la nuit était peut-être un complément de ce décor. - Musée d’Orsay
