About the piece

Painted by Antoine Barbier in 1910, this evocative work captures the historic flooding of the Seine in Paris. The composition features figures in rowboats navigating dark, water-filled streets, with the warm glow of lamps reflecting against the deep shadows of Haussmann-style architecture. It is a masterful study of light, shadow, and a significant moment in Parisian history.
