The Boulevard Montmartre on a Winter Morning 1897

Camille Pissarro's *The Boulevard Montmartre on a Winter Morning* (1897) is a quintessential example of Impressionism, capturing a bustling Parisian street scene. The painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, uses short, visible brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and light, particularly on the street and passing carriages. The hazy atmosphere, typical of Impressionist paintings, adds to the feeling of a fleeting moment in time. The scene depicts a Parisian boulevard at the turn of the 20th century, capturing the dynamism of urban life in the city. Pissarro's meticulous portrayal of light and shadow brings the bustling scene to life, highlighting the everyday activities of Parisian residents.
