Roofs of Paris 1900

"Roofs of Paris," painted in 1900 by French artist Francis Picabia, offers a glimpse of the Parisian cityscape from a unique perspective. With loose brushstrokes and a muted palette, Picabia captures the essence of the city's architecture, particularly the rooftops blanketed in snow. The hazy atmosphere adds a sense of quietude and mystery to the scene, inviting viewers to contemplate the unseen lives unfolding beneath. This impressionistic painting is a testament to Picabia's early artistic exploration, showcasing his sensitivity to light and his fascination with urban landscapes.
