About the piece
Painted in 1884 by Ernest Jean Delahaye, this work depicts the bustling activity of the Courcelles gasworks. The composition masterfully balances the heavy, dark textures of coal and cobblestones in the foreground with the ethereal, glowing clouds of steam that envelop the workers and horses, creating a powerful sense of late 19th-century industrial life.
