# The Banks of the Seine River in Paris

By [Maximilien Luce](<https://art.jpamorgan.com/artists/maximilien-luce.md>), 1893.

A luminous early view of the Seine opens Paris into a broad river panorama. Broken touches of color animate the water, banks, and distant structures without sacrificing the scene's spatial clarity.
