Born in Paris in 1873, Marcel-Clement studied at the School of Fine Art and made his début at the Paris Salon in 1903. At this time he was best known for his Parisian street scenes, which captured so vividly the era of the Belle Époque and the fashionable Parisian Society. He was a master at portraying the urban landscape, and his usage of light and reflections in wet streets is reminiscent of the work of Luigi Loir, Cortes, Laloue and Atkinson Grimshaw.
