EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L Avenue de L Opera, 1878" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris during the French Second Empire. Painted by Giuseppe or Joseph de Nittis, or attributed to him, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now housed in the Musee Carnavalet at Musee de la Ville de Paris. The image showcases the transformation of urban planning under Baron Georges Eugene Haussmann. Known for his ambitious regeneration projects, Haussmann aimed to modernize and beautify Paris. In this particular scene, we witness the Percement de l Avenue de l Opera, a monumental avenue being constructed amidst demolition and construction work. The painting beautifully captures the classical elegance of Parisian architecture with its grand buildings lining both sides of the avenue. A horse-drawn cart passes through as workers laboriously engage in manual tasks that contribute to shaping this new landmark. Through this artwork, we are transported into a moment frozen in time - an era marked by progress and ambition. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time and how dedicated individuals shape their physical landscapes for future generations to enjoy.
