The artwork “St. Denis,” created by Edouard Cortes, is an oil painting on canvas, originating from the Post-Impressionism art movement. The piece, categorized under the genre of cityscape, measures 55.9 x 45.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a bustling street scene on a snowy evening. The urban landscape is teeming with life as pedestrians traverse the sidewalk, and horse-drawn carriages move along the street. The buildings are adorned with glowing lights that cast a warm hue over the snow-covered ground, contrasting with the chilly atmosphere conveyed by the snow-laden tree in the foreground. The vivid colors and dynamic brushstrokes of Cortes capture the vibrancy and energy of the city, encapsulating a typical yet enchanting moment in urban winter life.
