About the piece

Painted by Maxime Maufra in 1900, this atmospheric work captures the 'Féerie nocturne' (Nocturnal Fairy) of the Paris World's Fair. The composition features the iconic silhouettes of the exhibition pavilions and the Eiffel Tower illuminated against a dark sky, with vibrant golden light reflecting across the ripples of the Seine.
