Environs de Paris 

Maximilien Luce, a noted French artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, created this oil painting capturing a rural scene in the "Environs de Paris" region of France. The painting depicts a tranquil village street, with a cluster of buildings on the left, a horse-drawn carriage in the middle ground, and lush greenery throughout. Luce's distinctive style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and vibrant color palette, particularly in the depiction of the trees, which contribute to a sense of dappled sunlight and atmospheric depth. The painting embodies the quintessential French countryside, highlighting the beauty of the natural world and its connection to rural life.
