About the piece
Created by Pierre-François Marangé around 1880, this painting captures a poignant moment in late 19th-century Paris. It depicts the resilient spirit of the city, showing elegantly dressed citizens enjoying the parkland and fountains while the hollowed-out shell of the Tuileries Palace stands as a dramatic backdrop following its destruction during the Paris Commune.
