About the piece
Painted by Germain Eugène Bonneton in 1910, this oil work depicts the Rue du Haut-Pavé submerged during the great flood of Paris. The composition leads the eye toward the hazy silhouette of the Panthéon, while small boats maneuver through the dark, reflective waters under a soft, overcast sky. The piece expertly balances historical documentation with the luminous, painterly qualities of early 20th-century French landscapes.
