Painted in 1875 during the historic early years of the Impressionist movement, The Seine in Paris (La Seine à Paris) was created while Paul Gauguin worked as a Parisian stockbroker and spent his weekends painting en plein air under the guidance of Camille Pissarro. Setting his easel along the banks of the Seine, Gauguin captured a sweeping, wide-angle view of the river flowing through the heart of Paris. The composition displays a subtle interplay of silvery light reflections, soft grey-blue sky gradations, and delicate industrial smokestacks blending into the urban horizon. Preserved in a private collection, this panoramic canvas showcases Gauguin’s early technical sophistication and keen atmospheric observation prior to his revolutionary turn toward Symbolism and Tahitian Synthetism.
