Jean Béraud’s *Entrée de l’exposition universelle de 1889* (1889) captures the bustling scene of the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris, France. The painting features a crowd of Parisians, elegantly dressed in fashionable attire, gathered on the Champs de Mars, their eyes drawn to the newly constructed Eiffel Tower. The scene is bustling with activity, as people stroll, chat, and ride in horse-drawn carriages, creating a vibrant depiction of life in late 19th-century Paris. Béraud's keen eye for detail and realistic style make the viewer feel transported to the heart of the action.
