Description from the seller
Magnificent oil on canvas from the School of Paris (20th century), a large-scale work depicting a lively urban scene with the Eiffel Tower as its visual and symbolic axis. It is a composition with a strong aesthetic impact, where loose and thick brushstrokes, applied in dense layers, build a vibrant atmosphere that captures the cosmopolitan spirit of Paris at its fullest splendor.
The artist recreates a bustling Parisian avenue: elegantly dressed passersby, illuminated cafés, historic facades, and a central carriage that adds character and narrative dynamism. The light — one of the most outstanding features of this work — unfolds from a golden, dramatic sky that envelops the scene with a warm glow, creating reflections on the wet pavement and multiplying the depth of the urban landscape.
The technique demonstrates a remarkable mastery of pictorial matter: the impastos build volumes and textures that bring trees, buildings, and figures to life, while the chromatic transitions, carefully worked, provide balance between the luminosity of the background and the darker tones of the architecture. The overall conveys that unmistakable character of 20th-century Parisian painting, where tradition, romanticism, and modernity coexist in harmony.
The work is framed, measuring a total of 103 x 73 cm, which further enhances its visual presence and makes it a powerful decorative piece for any spacious room or collection that values historical and elegant urban scenes.
An ideal piece for collectors of Parisian paintings, lovers of the Belle Époque atmosphere and the École de Paris, as well as for those seeking a large-format oil painting with a strong visual impact and high-quality technical execution.
