"Boulevard des Italiens" is a historic lithograph by French artist Félix Benoist (1818-1896). The lithograph, part of a larger body of work known as "Paris dans sa splendeur", depicts a vibrant and bustling scene on the Boulevard des Italiens, a prominent street in Paris, during the mid-19th century.

Benoist a renowned painter and lithographer, was noted for his detailed cityscape and landscape images, particularly those of Paris and Rome. His works are esteemed for their precision and the richness of their detail, giving the viewer a vivid depiction of urban life during the period.

In "Boulevard des Italiens," he captures the city's energy and rapid modernization during the Second French Empire. The boulevard is teeming with people from all walks of life, from well-dressed bourgeoisie strolling and chatting to manual laborers going about their work. Buildings stand tall and stately, reflecting the architectural grandeur of the time, while horse-drawn carriages add to the dynamic, lively scene.

Also apparent is the depiction of the then newly-implemented Haussmann's renovation of Paris, prompted by the Napoleon III regime, notable in the wide streets, green spaces, and uniform facades.

"Boulevard des Italiens" now serves not just an artistic piece, but as a historical testament to Parisian society at a specific moment in time, viewed through the keen and meticulous eye of Félix Benoist.
