Paris, Le Quartier De Vaugirard c. 1910

Maximilien Luce's "Paris, Le Quartier De Vaugirard" depicts a scene of a Parisian street in the early 20th century. Luce, a prominent member of the Neo-Impressionist movement, employed a distinct style of painting characterized by short, broken brushstrokes, known as pointillism. This work showcases a tranquil scene with a prominent tree and the soft glow of a setting sun, casting a warm hue over the buildings and a horse-drawn carriage. This painting captures the essence of everyday life in the Vaugirard district, highlighting the transition from a traditional urban environment to the burgeoning modern world.
