About the Item

In this piece, the artist depicts his subject in an abstract and impressionistic way, capturing the busy Seine by the Hotel de Paris. The streets of Paris are portrayed in the distance with much life and vibration, we can feel the energy effortlessly. The artist mostly used oil with a pallet knife, with impasto paint, and then by using subtle brush strokes with a wide color pallet, a beautiful rendition of the street with figures is accomplished. The artist was truly a master of capturing the magic and romance of Paris in all of its glory throughout the seasons. This piece is executed whimsically, yet dramatically evoking an emotion of wonder and beauty.
