La Place De La Concorde c. 1925

This pastel painting by French artist Édouard Vuillard, created around 1925, depicts the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Vuillard, known for his intimate scenes and use of color, presents a hazy and atmospheric view of the iconic square. The work is notable for its soft, muted palette, blurred details and atmospheric qualities. The viewer can easily discern the architecture of the square but the overall impression is dreamlike and ethereal. Vuillard’s signature style, which combines impressionistic techniques with a focus on everyday life, is clearly evident in this evocative scene.
