Facing the Louvre in the fall from Tuileries Garden, France.
Cortes, one of the most sought-after Post-Impressionist Parisian scene painters, is known as “Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture” for his ability to capture the atmosphere of Paris across every season and hour of day. This painting is a masterful example of his gift for animating a scene with just enough human detail to make it feel lived-in without losing the grandeur of the setting. The Tuileries is Paris’s oldest and most storied public garden, created by Catherine de Medici in 1564.
