This gorgeous depiction of Paris set in 1897 was painted by the French Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro. He combined an incredible blue-black sky, beautifully lined buildings vanishing into a point far off, and a road lit by street lights to create this Impressionist masterpiece.
This painting is not simply a Parisian street. What it really is, is an impression of the street and all the elements in it. It is a depiction of the bright new face of a Paris. After the famous renovation of Paris by Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, who restructured the entire city and created the magnificent wide boulevards we know and love today, artists developed a penchant for showing the city in its glorious new avatar!
This painting is the only night scene from this series, and is a masterful rendition of the play of lights on dark and wet streets. Pissarro neither signed nor exhibited it during his lifetime.
