About the piece

In this 1889 work, Henri Saintin captures the ephemeral architectural splendor of the Exposition Universelle in Paris. The painting depicts the grand white pavilions lining the Seine riverbank, with steam-powered vessels and the hazy silhouette of the city's bridges under a soft, atmospheric sky.
