About this painting

The story of Boulevard des Capucines

Boulevard des Capucines is the title of two oil-on-canvas paintings depicting the famous Paris boulevard by French Impressionist artist Claude Monet, created between 1873–1874. One version is vertical in format and depicts a snowy street scene looking down the boulevard towards the Place de l'Opéra. The other version is a horizontal composition and shows the same street on a sunny winter day; it is housed at The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow and is believed to be the version that was exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibit in 1874.

About the artist

Claude Monet

Oscar-Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of Impressionism who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of Impressionism's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions of nature, especially as applied to plein air (outdoor) landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise, which was exhibited in 1874 at the First Impressionist Exhibition, initiated by Monet and a number of like-minded artists as an alternative to the Salon.
