About the piece
Painted in 1910 by Alexandre Bloch, this evocative work captures the historic flooding of the Seine as it inundated the grand Boulevard Haussmann. The loose, impressionistic brushwork beautifully conveys the overcast sky and the glassy, reflective surface of the rising waters, contrasting the monumental architecture of Paris with the quiet stillness of the flooded city.
