Street Scene near Antibes 

"Street Scene near Antibes" is a work by the French painter Ernest Meissonier, known for his meticulous detail and focus on genre scenes. This painting depicts a quiet, sun-drenched street in the French town of Antibes, capturing the daily life of its inhabitants. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the architectural details of the buildings and the figures moving through the scene. The composition, with its emphasis on everyday activities, is characteristic of Meissonier's style, which was popular in the 19th century for its portrayal of everyday life in a romantic and idealized light.
