About the piece

Created in 1882, Alfred Casile’s 'Le Champ-de-Mars après l'Exposition de 1878' depicts the historic Parisian grounds in the years following a world's fair. The composition is defined by its low horizon and a restless, grey sky that fills the majority of the frame, conveying a sense of quiet atmospheric weight. Tiny figures dot the foreground path, while distant city landmarks provide a sense of scale and place to this moody French landscape.
