The Boulevard Montmartre at Night

The Boulevard Montmartre at Night is Camille Pissarro’s sparkling nocturne of Paris, painted from a hotel window overlooking the rain-slicked boulevard. The glittering reflections of streetlamps and shop windows in the wet pavement transform the modern city into a jewel-like spectacle. It belongs to the celebrated series of Boulevard Montmartre views Pissarro painted across seasons and weather in 1897.
