Note
Since 1664, the structured landscape of the Tuileries Gardens has offered visitors an impressive setting, stretching from the Place de la Concorde to the Louvre. Gaëtan Dumas was among a generation of artists who gained public attention for recording the grand vistas, stately trees, and limitless stroll of passersby. His sweeping impasto brushwork, a signature of his style, is evidenced here.
