La Rue Mouffetard 1890

"La Rue Mouffetard" by Maximilien Luce is a vibrant depiction of a bustling street scene in Paris, created in 1890. Luce, known for his contributions to the Divisionist movement, uses a technique called pointillism, where small dots of color are applied to the canvas, creating a sense of shimmering light and movement. This artwork captures the everyday life of Parisians, showcasing the street vendors, shops, and pedestrians that filled the city's streets. The distinct dots of color and overall composition are characteristic of Luce's artistic style, and this work is a fine example of pointillist techniques.
