Painting and Sculpture
Le Boulevard de Montmartre, matinée de printemps (English: Boulevard Montmartre, Spring) is an 1897 oil on canvas painting of Paris' Boulevard Montmartre by Camille Pissarro. The work is part of a series of 14 paintings from the same year depicting Pissarro's view of the boulevard from his room at the Grand Hôtel de Russie. A nearly identical work with the same title is in the collection of the Museum Langmatt. On 5 February 2014 it was auctioned at Sotheby's, London for £19,682,500, double its pre-sale estimate.
