Place de la Concorde 

Antoine Blanchard, known for his Parisian cityscape paintings, captures the iconic Place de la Concorde in this artwork. The painting depicts the obelisk, a symbol of the square, with the Church of the Madeleine in the distance. A sense of movement and energy is conveyed through the depiction of figures and carriages traversing the square. The cloudy sky and subtle lighting add a melancholic atmosphere to the scene. Blanchard's signature style is apparent in the loose brushstrokes and the overall impressionistic aesthetic.
