About the piece

Painted in 1830 by Hippolyte-Benjamin Adam, this work offers a fascinating historical perspective of Paris. It depicts the architectural silhouette of the Hôpital Saint-Louis against a lush midground, while the Buttes-Chaumont hills rise in the distance under a pale sky. In the foreground, figures and a horse-drawn cart by a canal add a lively sense of scale and everyday activity to the serene landscape.
