About the piece

This 1861 painting by Édouard Hubert documents the vibrant energy of the fair at Place Saint-Pierre in Montmartre. The composition is rich with historical detail, from the festive yellow carousel and early Ferris wheel to the diverse crowd of Parisians in mid-19th-century attire, all set against the sloping hillside of the iconic district.
