La Tour Eiffel à Paris c. 1900

Armand Guillaumin's "La Tour Eiffel à Paris" (c. 1900) captures a serene view of the Eiffel Tower from across the Seine River. The painting is characterized by its vibrant use of color, particularly the soft, pastel hues that evoke the tranquility of the Parisian skyline at dawn. Guillaumin, known for his Impressionist style, masterfully portrays the reflections of the city on the water's surface, adding a sense of depth and luminosity to the composition. This work exemplifies Guillaumin's appreciation for the beauty of everyday life and his ability to translate it into evocative and poetic imagery.
