Lenepveu Heir Hires Lawyer to Uncover Original Garnier Ceiling

Arnaud Carayon has hired a lawyer to push to restore and uncover Jules-Eugène Lenepveu’s 19th-century ceiling in Palais Garnier opera house, hidden under Marc Chagall’s 24 panels ordered by minister André Malraux in 1962. Carayon, Lenepveu’s descendant and head of the Friends of Lenepveu Society, says he has pressed the case for three years, writing twice to President Emmanuel Macron.
