The artwork titled “St.Denis” is a cityscape created by Edouard Cortes in 1905. It is a part of the Post-Impressionism art movement.
The artwork captures an evening scene on the bustling streets of Paris. The ambience is set with a wet, glistening pavement that reflects the soft, golden streetlights and shopfront illuminations. People are portrayed in various activities; some are seen walking, while others engage in conversation. Horse-drawn carriages make their way through the street, creating a vivid portrayal of early 20th-century urban life. The architecture is detailed and showcases the typical Parisian style with buildings adorned with balconies and large windows. The atmosphere is lively and vibrant, capturing the essence of the city with a sense of romantic nostalgia. The use of light and shadow is striking, emphasizing the play of artificial light against the evening sky.
