About the piece

This 1830 landscape by Louis Daguerre captures the rustic charm of Montmartre before its full urbanization. The composition features the iconic windmills of the 'Butte' in the foreground, overlooking the hazy expanse of Paris as the sun dips below the horizon, bathing the clouds in soft pink and gold.
