About the piece

Painted around 1899 by Jean-François Raffaëlli, this work captures the iconic silhouette of Notre Dame de Paris from the Quai de la Tournelle. The artist employs an airy, light-filled palette and energetic brushstrokes to depict the bustling life along the river and the gothic grandeur of the cathedral under a pale blue sky.
