The Grands Boulevards
Renoir captures the bustling energy of Paris in this sun-drenched scene of the Grands Boulevards. Painted in 1875, it's a perfect example of Impressionism, with loose brushstrokes that make the crowd and carriages look like they're actually moving. He painted this from a balcony, giving us a bird's-eye view of the modern city life that was transforming Paris at the time.
