About this work

Artist: Camille Pissarro (1830–1903)
Year: 1897
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 74 × 92.8 cm
Collection: State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
Movement: Impressionism
Series: Boulevard Montmartre series

The boulevard Montmartre under afternoon sun, the long perspective of trees, awnings and apartment blocks flooded with warm light and the carriages below reduced to quick dashes of dark paint. Pissarro painted the boulevard fourteen times between February and April 1897 from a window of the Grand Hôtel de Russie, working through different weather and times of day in the serial manner Monet had made famous with his haystacks and cathedrals. Where the winter-morning version in New York is grey and damp, this one is bright and busy, the kind of Paris street the Impressionists had celebrated for a quarter of a century. It belongs to the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. Together the series stands as the most sustained record of the modern city by the eldest of the Impressionists, made in his late sixties from a hotel window.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Boulevard Montmartre, Afternoon Sun in the public domain?

Yes. Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by State Hermitage Museum.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Boulevard Montmartre, Afternoon Sun painted, and in what medium?

Boulevard Montmartre, Afternoon Sun dates from 1897 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 74 × 92.8 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
