View of the Seine, Paris 1871

Armand Guillaumin's "View of the Seine, Paris" from 1871 depicts a Parisian cityscape through the lens of Impressionism. The painting captures the Seine River and its banks, with a view of the city beyond, partially obscured by a cluster of trees in the foreground. The use of bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, particularly in the sky, reflects the Impressionist movement's emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light. The inclusion of figures strolling along the river adds a sense of daily life to the scene. Guillaumin's works, often focused on landscapes and cityscapes, showcase his skill in depicting the beauty of the natural world and the vibrancy of urban life.
