La colonne Morris 1885

"La colonne Morris" painted in 1885 by Jean Béraud depicts a Parisian street scene. The painting focuses on a large, ornate advertising column adorned with posters. The column stands in the center of a bustling street, with figures passing by, creating a lively atmosphere. The use of muted colors and the focus on the column and its surroundings, typical of Béraud's style, contribute to the painting's depiction of everyday life in Paris during the late 19th century. The painting captures the transient nature of urban life, making it a compelling snapshot of Parisian street culture during this period.
