All the opulent decorative-work, sculpture, painting, and gilding became blended, the walls assuming a tawny vagueness amidst which appeared bright patches like the sparkle of precious stones.

La décoration si riche, les sculptures, les peintures, les dorures, se noyait, n’était plus qu’une vague apparition fauve, des murs de rêve où dormaient des reflets de joyaux et de pierreries.

And, in thought, he sauntered around it, charmed with its nudity, its stupendous candour, its chasteness recalling that of a virgin child, for there was not a piece of sculpture, not an ornament that would have uselessly loaded it.

Et, en pensée, il tournait autour d’elle, ravi de sa nudité, de sa chasteté de vierge enfant, d’une candeur géante, sans une sculpture, sans un ornement qui l’aurait inutilement chargée.

The Ministry of Finances, that colossal pile of masonry and sculpture, looked in particular like a dead town, a huge bloodless body whence all life had withdrawn.

Le ministère des Finances surtout, ce colossal entassement de maçonnerie et de sculptures, prenait une apparence de ville morte, la tristesse infinie d’un grand corps exsangue, dont la vie s’était retirée.

One builds the frontage of handsome stone, with a lot of sculpture about it; one gives three coats of varnish to the walls of the staircase; one paints and gilds the rooms; and all that flatters people, and inspires respect.

On met la façade en belle pierre, avec des machines sculptées; on vernit l'escalier à trois couches; on dore et on peinturlure les appartements; et ça flatte le monde, ça inspire de la considération....
