Trinité des Monts, Paris by Jean-François Raffaëlli

Jean-François Raffaëlli
1850-1924 | French

Trinité des Monts, Paris

Signed "JF Raffaëlli" (lower right)
Oil on canvas

Alive with movement and modern elegance, Trinité des Monts, Paris captures the vitality of Belle Époque Paris at its height. In this bustling view of the Place de la Trinité, Jean-François Raffaëlli renders horse-drawn carriages, fashionable pedestrians and the grand Église de la Sainte-Trinité with remarkable beauty. The composition embodies the optimism and sophistication of bourgeois Paris during a period of profound urban and cultural transformation.

Raffaëlli orchestrates the scene with confident, animated brushstrokes. A rich palette of greens, blues and warm ochres enlivens the boulevard, while intricate details, such as a wandering dog, soaring birds overhead and figures mid-stride, infuse the canvas with spontaneity. Architectural grandeur rises behind the animated street, balancing monumentality with the intimacy of everyday life.

Though never an official member of the Impressionist circle, Raffaëlli exhibited alongside them at the urging of his friend Edgar Degas in 1880 and 1881. Trained briefly under Jean-Léon Gérôme yet largely self-directed, he forged a distinctive style bridging Realism, Naturalism and Impressionism. Celebrated in his lifetime and awarded the Légion d’Honneur in 1889, Raffaëlli became renowned for his evocative depictions of modern Paris. Today, his works reside in major institutions including the Musée d’Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

The authenticity of the work has been confirmed by Galerie Brame & Lorenceau and will be included in their forthcoming digital catalogue raisonné of the artist.
