Les berges de la Seine 1880

"Les berges de la Seine" (1880) by Jean Béraud (1849-1935) depicts a scene of everyday life along the Seine River in Paris. The painting features a couple and their dogs, with a view of the riverbank, factories, and bridges in the background. Béraud was known for his realistic portrayal of Parisian life and this painting captures the mood and atmosphere of the era. The composition, with its focus on the figures and the surrounding landscape, creates a sense of depth and realism. This work is an example of the genre of Parisian scene painting, which was popular in the late 19th century.
