Travaux sur la Seine, au pont des Saints-Pères 1936

"Travaux sur la Seine, au pont des Saints-Pères" is a 1936 painting by the French artist Maximilien Luce. The painting depicts a scene of construction on the Seine River in Paris. Luce was known for his depictions of modern life, often featuring industrial subjects and scenes of urban development. The work is characterized by its divisionist brushstrokes, which give the painting a shimmering, almost pointillist effect. The painting captures the energy and movement of the construction site, and the presence of the iconic Pont des Saints-Pères bridge provides a sense of place and scale.
