About the piece

Painted in 1829 by François-Edme Ricois, this work offers a romanticized perspective of Paris from the vantage point of Montparnasse. The composition skillfully guides the eye from the detailed garden foreground and stately architecture on the left across a dense canopy of trees toward the distant city skyline, all set beneath a masterfully rendered, atmospheric sky.
