NOTICE
Édouard Cortès, a French painter renowned for his scenes of Paris, captures a vibrant moment of Parisian life in the 1930s in this work, Allée du Marché aux Fleurs de la Madeleine. Depicting a picturesque view of the famous flower market alley near the Madeleine church, Cortès uses soft, luminous strokes of color to evoke the lively atmosphere and floral beauty of this iconic location.
His impressionist style, blended with a touch of realism, is reflected here in his attention to detail and light. The reflections on the damp cobblestones, the colorful flower stalls and the passers-by strolling in the soft light of morning or dusk, transport the viewer to the heart of everyday Parisian life. Cortès excels at capturing the mood of the seasons and the hours, making each scene an ode to Paris.
Close in his approach to urban scenes to Eugène Galien-Laloue and Antoine Blanchard, Édouard Cortès is nicknamed "the painter of Paris" for his ability to immortalize the capital's neighborhoods and streets. Allée du Marché aux Fleurs de la Madeleine is a sought-after work for its timeless charm and ability to capture the soul of Paris, revealing Cortès' expertise in mastering light and detail.
