About the piece
Painted during the historic Great Flood of 1910, this work by Germain Bonneton captures the Rue du Haut-Pavé transformed into a quiet canal. The composition uses a muted, tonalist palette to evoke the damp, overcast atmosphere of Paris, with the iconic silhouette of a cathedral spire emerging from the mist as buildings cast deep reflections into the rising waters.
