About the piece

Painted in 1902, Henry Ossawa Tanner’s view of the Seine captures the ethereal light of a Parisian sunset. Using a rich impasto technique, Tanner translates the golden reflection of the sky onto the river's surface, creating a sense of quiet movement as boats and city landmarks dissolve into the hazy horizon.
