Artist: Unknown (Continental School, in the manner of 19th-century French Academic painters)
Title: Paris Flower Market
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Framing: Ornate Gilt Frame with Acorn-and-Foliage Motif
Dimensions (Framed): Approx. 48" x 70"
Date: Likely mid-to-late 20th Century (after 19th-century style)
This large, richly detailed oil painting depicts a bustling Parisian flower market scene in the Belle Époque style, complete with elegant ladies in period dress, florists at work, and children in Edwardian attire. Set against the backdrop of the Hôtel de Ville and the Seine, the composition buzzes with life and colour, capturing a romanticized version of Paris in its golden age.
The artist’s brushwork emphasizes vibrant floral arrangements—meticulously arranged in rows and baskets—while the crowd animates the urban promenade in rhythmic motion. The balance of architectural majesty and cheerful daily life offers both historical interest and decorative grandeur.
Style Note: The piece follows the tradition of 19th-century French academic painters and salon illustrators, echoing the influence of artists like Jean Béraud and Edouard Léon Cortès, but with a more narrative-driven, pastoral tone.
While unsigned, the technical execution and grand scale indicate a studio work likely created for formal décor or gallery distribution, appealing to collectors of classical city scenes, Parisian nostalgia, and historic genre painting.
