Confluent de la Seine et de la Marne à Ivry 1889

"Confluent de la Seine et de la Marne à Ivry" (1889) by Armand Guillaumin captures the confluence of the Seine and Marne Rivers in Ivry-sur-Seine, France. The painting features a vibrant, Impressionistic style with visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the effects of light. The industrial elements in the background, including factories and smoke plumes, contrast with the peaceful river scene and suggest the growth of modern industry in the late 19th century. Guillaumin, a member of the Impressionist movement, was known for his landscapes and depictions of urban scenes, highlighting the beauty of everyday life and the changing face of France during this period.
