French Realist artist Jean-François Raffaëlli was a sculptor as well as a painter. Raffaëlli specialized in rendering the marginal of society, though in a naturalistic manner, which led both to his invitation to exhibit with Impressionists as well as controversy over his inclusion at their galleries. Here we see the artist’s view of perhaps the most famous avenue in the world.
