Ceiling above the First Class Dining Saloon on the 'Aquitania' (1914)
Interior of the passenger liner 'Aquitania' (1914) showing the decorative painting 'The Triumph of Flora' on the ceiling above the central part of the First Class Dining Saloon (Louis XVI Restaurant). A well established iconographic theme, the Triumph of Flora is a celebration of spring and the renewal of floral life. Flora is seated on a cloud; Pomona, the goddess of orchards and gardens is seated by her side, and Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, is holding a bunch of flowers; putti are presenting her garlands of flowers.
The decoration of the First Class Dining Saloon was carried out by P. H. Rémon & Sons, Paris.
