About the workThe Berlin artist Adolph von Menzel brings a Parisian street scene to life with innumerable details. People pile up on a tram and scaffolding in the background. This painting is based on the countless sketches Menzel made of various motifs in Paris, where he participated in the universal exhibition of 1867. Everyone had been talking about the city as a modern pictorial motif ever since 1863, when Charles Baudelaire published his influential text “The Painter of Modern Life”. Menzel embodied the role described in the essay in the German art of his time.
