Jean Beraud - The Boulevard Saint-Denis in Paris [1899]


Jean Beraud (Saint Petersburg, January 12, 1849 - Paris, October 4, 1935) was a French Impressionist painter. Béraud's paintings often included truth-based humour and mockery of late 19th century Parisian life, along with frequent appearances of biblical characters in then contemporary situations.
