Flooding by the Seine 1893

"Flooding by the Seine" (1893) by Frits Thaulow depicts a scene of the Seine River in Paris, France, during a flood. The artist captures the moment with a focus on the river's overflow, seen in the flooded banks and the boats tied to the shore. The bridge in the background, a characteristic feature of the Parisian landscape, anchors the composition. Thaulow's signature style is evident in his realistic portrayal of the scene and the use of light and shadow to convey a sense of atmosphere.
