Scène de Rue à Paris 1896

Maximilien Luce’s 1896 painting, *Scène de Rue à Paris*, is a captivating depiction of a Parisian street, viewed from a high vantage point. The artist's signature Divisionist technique, using small dots of color, is evident in the rendering of the buildings, trees, and figures. This style, often associated with Neo-Impressionism, creates a shimmering effect, especially in the dappled sunlight and rainy street. Luce's interest in capturing the vibrancy of urban life and the play of light and shadow is evident in this composition, showcasing a moment in the bustling city.
