AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- This oil painting, elegantly framed in gold, transports us at once to a bustling Parisian boulevard at the turn of the century, where the Eiffel Tower rises as the perfect culmination beneath a crepuscular sky of soft, melancholic brushstrokes. The scene, impastoed and vibrant, beats with the rhythmic movement of horse-drawn carriages and the crowd crowding the sidewalks, where shop windows lit with gold light and life cast reflections on the pavement slick with recent rain. The contrast between the architectural monumentality of the buildings and the fleeting nature of the figures, captured with quick, expressive strokes, evokes that blend of nostalgia and modernity that defines the very essence of the Belle Époque, a stolen moment in time where elegance and the effervescence of urban life intertwine in an unforgettable visual harmony.

- Image dimensions without frame: 90 x 60 cm / 108 x 77 cm with exclusive custom frame.

In Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original and irreplaceable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, features that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence and, therefore, every painting or sculpture in our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Some lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and irreplaceable works of art, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that every piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. For this, we work with a network of specialists in art transport who guarantee maximum 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. These include fluctuations in transport market rates, changes to the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to customs and import tariffs.

Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailoring to each client’s needs and ensuring the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be hung immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be considered valid reasons to file a claim or request a cancellation.
