About the piece
Painted in 1852 by Johan Jongkind, a key precursor to Impressionism, this work depicts Notre-Dame de Paris as seen from the Quai de la Tournelle. The scene balances the monumental Gothic architecture with the daily life of workers and boats on the Seine, set under a dramatic, cloud-filled sky that showcases Jongkind's mastery of light and atmosphere.
