View looking down onto a busy city street, tall buildings to the left, closely spaced row of tall trees down the center of the boulevard with horse-drawn carriages lined up underneath. Streets crowded with carriages and pedestrians. Figure at lower right carries pink balloons; top-hatted figure leans out of balcony at center right edge. Vague impression of city in the background.

　Claude Monet captured the dramatic, plunging view of the bustling street of the fashionable Boulevard des Capucines as seen from the second-floor window of the famous photographer Nadar’s apartment.
　Monet’s Boulevard embodies the hallmarks of classic Impressionism: modern, urban subject matter; bright, pastel hues; flickering, broken brushwork that suggests dynamic movement; attention to the effects of light and atmosphere; and a sketch-like painting presented as a finished picture. The overall effect of energy and movement found some admirers when a similar version was shown at the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874. Others were shocked by the blurry, imprecise forms dubbed by one writer as “black tongue-lickings”.
