École Européene (XX) - Manhattan, 1900

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- At the inflexion of the twentieth century, the New York suggested by this perspective is not yet the vertical hive of steel skyscrapers and imperturbable modernity, but a transitional metropolis where the nineteenth-century elegance resists being swallowed by progress. In the tremor of its impasto and the vaporous atmosphere of an autumn sunset, the avenue becomes the stage of a contained acceleration: horse-drawn carriages, omnibuses, and pedestrians with stern silhouettes cross the wet asphalt under the gaze of gas lamps and tree-lined boulevards that bear an unmistakable Haussmannian echo. There is in the mist of its background —where classical domes silhouette against the rising profile of the first multi-story buildings— the portrait of a city that, before yielding entirely to mechanical vertigo and concrete, still preserved the sober nostalgia, cadence, and refinement of the Gilded Age.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we commit to ensuring that every piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances.

This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Consequently, damage to the frame that does not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
