Place de la Bastille 

Gustave Loiseau's "Place de la Bastille" is a depiction of the iconic Parisian square, featuring the July Column at its center. The painting, likely completed sometime between 1865 and 1935, showcases Loiseau's Impressionist style through loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the vibrant energy of the bustling city. The composition emphasizes the towering column, with the surrounding buildings and crowds receding into the background, creating a sense of depth and scale. Loiseau's use of light and color evokes the bright, sunny day, making the scene feel alive and dynamic.
