The artwork titled “Metro George V” by Edouard Cortes is an oil painting on canvas that belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. This cityscape piece measures 45.72 by 33 centimeters and is currently housed in a private collection.
In “Metro George V,” Cortes captures an urban scene, rendered in a style that characterizes Post-Impressionism with its vivid colors and expressive brushwork. The painting depicts a bustling street scene under a rich, glowing sky. The street is busy with pedestrians and vintage cars, almost leading the viewer’s gaze towards the iconic Arc de Triomphe in the background. The details of wet pavement reflect the street lamps’ glow and the ambient lights, enhancing the scene’s dynamic atmosphere. The composition, with its blend of architectural details and lively street life, highlights the charm and vibrancy of city living in early 20th-century Paris.
