Boulevard Haussmann during the 1910 Floods
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative oil painting by Alexandre Bloch, capturing the aftermath of a devastating flood that hit Paris in 1910. The image portrays a desolate scene on the iconic Boulevard Haussmann, once a bustling avenue filled with the hustle and bustle of Parisian life. The usually pristine buildings, now standing in contrast to the murky, flooded street, exude a sense of quiet despair. The painting, created in the early 20th century, is a testament to the power of Mother Nature and the resilience of the human spirit. The male figure in the foreground, dressed in a raincoat and boots, stands alone, gazing at the flooded street with a contemplative expression. The background is populated with other figures, some helping each other, others simply watching the scene unfold. The use of color in the painting is masterful, with the muted tones of the flooded street contrasting sharply with the vibrant hues of the buildings and the sky. The wide perspective of the painting provides a sense of scale, emphasizing the magnitude of the flood and the impact it had on the city. This painting, now part of the collection at the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, is a valuable historical document and an important addition to the heritage of French academic art. It offers a glimpse into a significant moment in Parisian history and serves as a reminder of the unpredictable forces of nature and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
