About the piece
Painted in 1907 as a study for the Bagneux town hall, Paul Steck's nocturnal landscape masterfully uses a palette of deep blues and shadowy greys to evoke the stillness of evening. Figures move through the moonlit street, past stone architecture and overhanging trees in this evocative piece of early 20th-century French art.
