Zusammenfassung:The first impressionist exhibition opened in Paris on April 15, 1874, at 35, boulevard des Capucines. Prior to the exhibition, Claude Monet made two paintings from that location, utilizing a vantage point from an upper balcony that provided a sharply angled view of the avenue below. This essay examines these paintings and establishes the work in the collection of the Pushkin Museum, Moscow, as a view of the boulevard during Carnival season and redates it to the late winter / early spring of 1874, affirming it as a key work in generating the early critical approach to impressionist painting.
