Rue Montorgueil, Paris — Festival of 30 June 1878 1878

La Rue Montorgueil · 蒙托格伊街

Painted from a balcony during a national holiday, the street disappears under flags. The crowd is a texture rather than a set of individuals, which is exactly the point: Monet is painting the noise of a city, not its people.
