About the piece
Painted in 1866 by Alfred-Eloi Auteroche, this work offers a fascinating historical perspective of Paris. The composition balances an urban foreground—featuring a building adorned with colorful period posters—against the rugged, semi-rural slopes of the Montmartre hill. The Solferino tower stands prominently on the horizon under a soft, overcast sky, rendered with the delicate tonal control typical of mid-19th century French realism.
