About the piece
Painted in 1877, Johan Jongkind captures the lively atmosphere of the Boulevard de Port-Royal in Paris with his characteristic loose, expressive brushwork. A precursor to Impressionism, Jongkind masterfully handles the soft, dappled light of the afternoon, contrasting the shadowy depth of the roadside trees with the warm, sunlit street and a vast, cloud-streaked sky.
