About the piece
Painted in 1868 by Jan Mioduszewski, this work captures the architectural majesty of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris before its destruction and subsequent reconstruction. The artist skillfully balances the massive stone edifice with the airy openness of the square, where citizens, carriages, and street sweepers go about their day beneath a soft, atmospheric sky with a view of Notre-Dame in the distance.
