About the piece
Painted in 1871 by Alfred Decaen, this work captures a moment during the Siege of Paris where French artillery forces took refuge in the Tuileries Gardens. The composition masterfully balances the bustling activity of soldiers and horses in the foreground against the serene, towering trees and the distant dome of the Tuileries Palace under a dramatic sky.
