AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: Paris Streets
School: French School (20th century)
Style: Urban Impressionism
Technique: Oil on canvas
Urban scene depicting a Parisian view with a marked impressionist atmosphere. The composition is structured around a wet street after the rain, whose reflections multiply the ochre, blue and reddish tones of the facades. In the background, monumental domes rise imposingly, dominating the architectural silhouette, adding verticality and depth to the scene.
In the foreground, popular-character buildings with red awnings and shop signs stand out, contrasting with the monumental architecture in the distance. Several human figures, treated with loose and synthetic brushwork, contribute dynamism and scale to the composition. The execution features broad, impasto brushstrokes, with chromatic planes and a clear intention to capture changing light and atmospheric effects, hallmarks of urban impressionism of the 20th century.
The work conveys a sense of daily life and movement, reinforced by the reflections on the wet pavement and the vibrant treatment of the sky.
Golden carved wooden frame in a light tone, with classical molding and sober lines. It has a wide profile that enhances the scene and gives presence to the whole. It is in generally good condition for its age, with slight signs of the passage of time.
Observations:
General condition consistent with its age, possibly showing slight signs of use typical of time.
The frame comes as a gift. It may show damage during transport even with proper packaging.
Measurements: 70.7 x 91 cm
Measurements without frame: 60 x 80.2 cm
