About the piece

Painted around 1885 by Henri Duvieux, this impressionistic oil on canvas captures the shimmering light of sunset over the Bosphorus. The artist employs a vibrant palette of golden yellows and cool blues to render the atmospheric haze over the distant Constantinople skyline and the quiet activity on the shore.
