The Boulevard des Capucines (Puskin Museum)

Claude Monet's *Boulevard des Capucines* (1873–1874), housed in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, exemplifies Impressionist technique—loose brushstrokes and capturing fleeting light—reflecting the dynamism of Parisian life during the Second Empire. Painted from Nadar’s studio, alongside fellow Impressionists like Cézanne and Renoir, it embodies the movement's revolutionary approach to art.
