About the piece
Painted by Jules Mary in 1870, this evocative oil painting captures the Point-du-Jour Viaduct and Bastion 35 in Paris during a significant historical moment. The composition expertly balances the rhythmic arches of the viaduct against a deep blue night sky, illuminated by a brilliant full moon and the distant glow of lanterns and a searching balloon light.
