1874, Antoine Guillemet, Bercy in December -- National Gallery of Art (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the museum/exhibition label:
Salon 1874, no. 878
A panoramic view of the Seine and its riverbanks in an industrial part of Paris is evenly lit under an overcast sky. The dome of the Panthéon, a mausoleum where prominent French figures are interred, is visible in the middle ground at left.
Guillemet's wide artistic circle included figures affiliated with the Salon, which he favored, and the Société Anonyme. This Salon painting has more in common with the industrial landscapes associated with the impressionists, who were interested in contemporary life and the ever-changing appearance of France.
