Picture of the day
The Grands Boulevards
is an
oil on canvas
painting by
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
, painted in 1875. The painting illustrates a busy Paris boulevard, showing the effects of
the recent renovation of the city
by
Georges-Eugène Haussmann
. It depicts a wide, paved street with a large concrete building to the right of the painting. The influence of
impressionism
on Renoir can be seen in the painting through the short brush strokes and a seemingly out of focus view. The work is now in the collection of the
Philadelphia Museum of Art
.
