Boulevard des Capucines is the title of two oil-on-canvas paintings depicting the famous Paris boulevard by French Impressionist artist Claude Monet, created between 1873–1874. One version is vertical in format and depicts a snowy street scene looking down the boulevard towards the Place de l'Opéra.[1] The other version is a horizontal composition and shows the same street on a sunny winter day; it is housed at The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow and is believed to be the version that was exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibit in 1874.[1] Monet painted the works from the photography studio of Félix Nadar at 35 Boulevard des Capucines.[2][3] The elevated vantage point and loose brushstrokes allow the audience to see the commotion of the boulevard from a position high above street level.[4] Certain aspects of the paintings have parallels in the photography of Monet's day and in Japanese prints, which may have influenced Monet.[2]
