Claude Monet's painting "Boulevard des Capucines", painted between 1873 and 1874, offers a glimpse of Parisian life at the time. The work was painted from above the studio of photographer Félix Nadar, located right on the boulevard, allowing Monet to capture the bustle of the street below.
The painting depicts an urban atmosphere, with crowds of passers-by and carriages moving along the tree-lined avenue. Monet does not focus on the precise details of the figures or buildings, but rather on the general impression of movement and light.
This canvas was one of the works exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, held in Nadar's studio. Its non-traditional representation of reality, with its almost indistinguishable figures and its focus on light and atmosphere rather than on defined form, provoked mixed reactions among the public and critics of the time, helping to define the characteristics of the new pictorial style.
