Isolated accents of bright red lend freshness and dynamism to this morning view of the Palais du Louvre. The painting is one of a group of around 60 depictions of Paris , which Pissarro produced at the beginning of the 20th century on the Île de la Cité, the oldest part of the French capital. The works were executed as a series – a procedure inspired by the example of Claude Monet.
