About the piece
This 1900 oil study by Edmond Allouard captures the dramatic fire at the iconic Comédie-Française. Using swift, impressionistic brushwork and a hazy palette of ochre and grey, Allouard documents the chaos of the Parisian event, showing crowds and early emergency vehicles gathered in the square as smoke billows from the roof.
