About the piece
Created in 1892 by Antoine Guillemet, this painting offers a fascinating look at the Seine at Conflans-Charenton. The composition skillfully contrasts the burgeoning industry of the far bank, characterized by billowing smoke from tall chimneys, with the quiet activity of the foreground where figures work near wooden boats. The work is a masterclass in French naturalist landscape painting, utilizing a light, airy palette to depict the hazy Parisian atmosphere.
