About the piece
Painted in 1901 by Maximilien Luce, this luminous work depicts the Quai Saint-Michel with the majestic towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral dominating the horizon. Employing a sophisticated Neo-Impressionist technique, Luce uses rhythmic dabs of color to capture the shifting light and the dynamic energy of Parisian street life at the turn of the century, from the horse-drawn carriages to the figures browsing the riverside stalls.
