About the piece
Painted in 1894 by Paul Schaan, this evocative oil painting captures a panoramic vista of Paris from the heights of Ménilmontant. The composition transitions from the dark, earthy foreground—where a solitary white horse grazes—to the sprawling, misty city below, illuminated by the soft, pastel hues of a twilight sky. Church spires and the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower anchor the urban landscape in this serene, turn-of-the-century masterpiece.
