FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
Boulevard of Montmartre At Night was painted by Camille Pissarro in 1987, towards the end of the artist's life. At this point, his work had been heavily influenced by Monet, among other Impressionists, turning him into a beacon of the movement. Pissarro was one of the most famous Impressionist painters, but it's important to note that he also produced several Post-Impressionist pieces. Pissarro mentored Cézanne during the beginning of his career. Cézanne is considered by many, the father of Modernism, and that has indeed a lot to do with the innovative approaches he learned from Pissarro.
Pissarro mastered the art of the Impressionist technique, as it's evident in this work. Heavy and thick brushstrokes represent the streets of Montmartre. It's almost a stippling effect of putting little dots together to create an environment. The painting has a lot of texture due to this effect.
One of the most impressive characteristics of this painting is that, even without defining the lines, the artist manages to represent the wet, dark streets. We have a distinct idea of what we are looking at, even though no building or lamp as a defined edge.
The color palette looks limited due to the final effect of light and shadow, but it is incredibly rich. Every object and building is composed of thousands of brushstrokes of several colors.
The blue sky fades into darkness as it approaches the top edges of this painting, but this effect comes from several brushstrokes of several tonnes of dark blue and green. The one-point perspective draws attention to the middle of the scene. The top of the lamps divides the street from the sidewalk. The bulbs are shining on a bright white light, and there are several other spots of luminosity, both on the road and reflecting onto the puddles.
The sides of the buildings on the left-hand side are completely adorned by the traditional Parisian canopies, which are also decorated with warm yellow lights. The buildings on the right-hand side don't seem to have canopies or movement outside, but they are brightened by warm yellow light too.
The tall buildings suggest the size of the main road called Boulevard Montmartre. Even though there are no characters drawn into this scene, the place is vivid and filled with life.
