Description: An atmospheric nocturne by Pierre Neveu capturing the grandeur of central Paris beneath the glow of lamplight. The composition appears to depict the Palais Garnier, its distinctive green roof illuminated beyond the elegant streetlights that punctuate the scene.
Executed in a restrained palette of warm ochre, violet-black, and subtle grey tones, Neveu’s handling of light and shadow conveys a cinematic sense of depth and urban rhythm. The glowing orbs of the streetlamps anchor the viewer within the composition, while the artist’s expressive linear drawing suggests movement, reflections, and the presence of passing figures.
This painting exemplifies Neveu’s ability to transform everyday architecture into a study of tone and atmosphere. His modernist approach — merging controlled draughtsmanship with spontaneous brushwork — imbues the scene with both vitality and poise. A striking piece for collectors interested in mid-century French urban modernism, it highlights Neveu’s enduring fascination with light as both subject and structure.

Parisian Street Scene
By Roland Dubuc
Located in London, GB
'Parisian Street Scene', watercolour on art paper, by Roland DuBuc (circa 1970s). This artwork is a delightful depiction of a Parisian street which scales the hill to the neighbourhood of Montmartre, the home of the basilica of Sacré-Cœur. DuBuc's artworks serve as a love letter to the city of Paris and are recognised by his incredibly charming style.
