Jean Béraud - The Church of Saint-Philippe-du-Roule, Paris [c.1877], a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.
When this painting was exhibited in the Salon of 1877, it was seen as a document of contemporary Parisian life. Béraud (French, St. Petersburg, 1849 - Paris, 1936) depicts a view of the rue du Faubourg St.-Honoré, which had recently become a fashionable shopping street. The church was designed in the eighteenth century by the architect J.F. Chalgrin.
