About the piece

Painted in 1897, this work by Maximilien Luce depicts the industrial wharf of 'Sacré Madame' in Belgium. Using a vibrant divisionist technique, Luce balances the somber presence of the massive slag heaps with the luminous atmospheric light reflecting off the water and the textured, cloud-filled sky.
