This painting by Gustave Castan, depicting a market on Geneva's Place de l'Île around 1890, depicts an urban scene in the middle of winter, probably on a rainy day.
The painting's atmosphere is dark and foggy, dominated by gray and brown tones, with muted touches of color on the parasols and people's clothing. The bare trees, with their twisting branches, add to the wintry character of the scene.
The market is lively despite the gloomy weather: dark silhouettes of passers-by and merchants gather under makeshift tents, probably seeking protection from the rain. The umbrellas add a touch of dynamism, and the reflection effect on the wet ground adds depth to the picture.
In the background, the massive buildings and imposing bell tower reinforce the historical character of the scene, illustrating the architecture of Geneva at the time. The painting captures not only the visual aspect but also the atmosphere of everyday Geneva life in the 19ᵉ century, with its popular markets and typical rainy-day atmosphere.
It's a work that combines realistic precision with a certain poetry in the way it renders the atmosphere of a bygone era.
