About the piece
Created by Alexei Bogoliubov in 1889, this evocative oil painting captures the Eiffel Tower shortly after its completion for the World's Fair. The artist expertly balances the industrial silhouettes of riverboats and docks in the foreground with the ethereal, hazy glow of the early electric lights illuminating the iconic structure and the Parisian atmosphere.
