Market Day on Rue des Lombards, Paris - Herman Moerkerck (1879-1949)

This large painting captures the vibrancy of popular Parisian life during the Belle Époque.
It constitutes a picturesque document of the atmosphere, the inhabitants, the color of the walls, and the state of the buildings around 1900.
The painter Herman Moerkerck, a versatile artist and occasional satirist, signed and located his impressionist view on Rue des Lombards.
