Painting Description
"Street Scene, at Five in the Afternoon" (French: "Scène de rue, à cinq heures du soir") is an 1887 painting by the French artist Louis Anquetin, a notable figure in the post-impressionist movement and a contemporary of Vincent van Gogh and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The painting is a quintessential example of Anquetin's innovative style, which combined the bold contours of cloisonnism—a technique characterized by enclosing colors within dark outlines—with the dynamic brushstrokes and urban subject matter of impressionism.
The work depicts a bustling Parisian street at dusk, capturing the energy and atmosphere of the city's public life during the Belle Époque. Anquetin's use of vivid colors and sharp contrasts reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints and the synthetist ideas of Paul Gauguin, emphasizing the emotional impact of the scene over realistic representation. The figures in the painting, including elegantly dressed Parisians and horse-drawn carriages, are rendered with a sense of movement and immediacy that conveys the rhythm of city life at the end of the workday.
"Street Scene, at Five in the Afternoon" is considered an important work in Anquetin's oeuvre, showcasing his departure from the more traditional impressionist techniques towards a more modern, avant-garde approach. The painting is also significant for its contribution to the development of the Parisian street scene genre, which would later be explored by other post-impressionist and modern artists. The work is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its stylistic innovations and its depiction of late 19th-century urban culture.
