About the piece
Painted in 1891 during Edvard Munch's stay in Paris, 'Rue Lafayette' captures a bird's-eye view of the city's pulse. The composition is defined by the sharp diagonal of the balcony, where a solitary figure in a top hat looks out over the crowd below. Eschewing his later dark symbolism for a light-filled Impressionist palette, Munch uses long, rapid brushstrokes to convey the fleeting motion and luminous atmosphere of the grand boulevard.
