About the piece
Painted in 1849 by Léon Auguste Mellé, this work captures the unique industrial architecture of mid-19th-century Paris. The scene features the Pompe Notre-Dame standing on massive wooden pilings above the dark waters of the Seine, contrasted against a luminous, cloud-filled sky and the distant city silhouette.
