Evening Shower, Paris 1894

Maurice Prendergast's "Evening Shower, Paris" (1894) is a captivating oil painting that captures the bustling energy of Parisian streets at night. The painting showcases Prendergast's signature style, using bold colors and simplified forms to create a sense of movement and vibrancy. The warm light of the street lamps illuminates the figures, which are depicted in a simplified, almost abstract manner, contributing to the dynamic composition of the piece. Prendergast's work is a testament to his keen observation of urban life and his ability to capture the unique character of Paris in the late 19th century.
