The Haussmanization of Paris
Monet's Boulevard of Capucines captures the grand boulevard revealing the order of the city where everyone and everything has a place, their own zone - pedestrians, trees, carriages. The viewer has a bird's eye-view of the street, showcasing Monet's unique perspective and mastery over outdoor (plein air) landscape art.
Monet in London
During the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1), Monet moved to London where he produced several works, including Boulevard of Capucines. This painting showcases the misty atmosphere of the capital on a spring day, with the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge in the background. The new foliage of trees and broken shadows on the river contrast beautifully with the jetty in the foreground.
