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 a bustling street scene with figures, cars, a horse and carriage by the "Boulevard de la Madeleine" in Paris. A busy street sight filled with life on a crisp Fall day in the late afternoon at twilight, with people walking alongside the streets of Paris. Figures are depicted throughout the streets, and the city lights 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.
