A beautiful oil on canvas painting by the French artist, Jean Salabet. Salabet was a Parisian painter known for his colorful cityscapes depicting the times of his generation. His work is comparable to that of Jules Herve, Antoine Blanchard, and Edouard Cortes. This painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career. Here, you see "La Place Dutertre a Montmartre" in Paris, a busy street scene filled with life at twilight. We can see an artist set up to paint with his canvas and easel as figures walk alongside the bustling streets of Paris. The lights from the cafes and stores flicker and reflect on the wet ground, magically illuminating the scene. The details are magnificent as Salabet captures the architecture of Paris so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. The piece is signed by the artist lower right, and it comes housed in a wonderful wood-carved antique frame with name plate affixed bottom center and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
