About the piece

Painted in 1910 by Alfred Renaudin, this work documents the 'percement' or opening of Avenue Junot in the historic Montmartre district of Paris. The composition masterfully contrasts the raw, sun-drenched earth of the excavation site with the quiet permanence of the surrounding architecture, rendered with the confident, textured brushwork characteristic of French landscape painting of the era.
