In fact, it was painted on 30 June 1878 for a festival declared that year by the government in commemoration of \"peace and work.\" This was one of the events organised for the third Paris Universal Exhibition a few weeks after its opening, and was intended as a symbol of France's recovery after the defeat of 1870. Besides demonstrating nationalist enthusiasm, the celebrations of 30 June 1878 were also an opportunity to strengthen the position of the republican regime, still fragile a few months after the major clashes of 1876-1877 between its supporters and conservatives. It was only two years later, in 1880, that 14 July was designated France's National Day.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis painting offers a distanced view of an urban landscape from a painter who did not mingle with the crowd, but observed it from a window. The three colours that vibrate in Monet's painting are those of modern France.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Impressionist technique, with its myriad of small strokes of colour, suggests the animation of the crowd and the fluttering of flags. This led the American historian Philip Nord to write that it fits perfectly with the \"republican moment\" that marks the emergence of a democratic society and its roots in contemporary France. With this painting, Monet reveals a hidden aspect of modernity, while also performing the work of a \"reporter.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Claude Monet","offers":[{"title":"43x71","offer_id":37574987939998,"sku":"","price":2473.02,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true},{"title":"53x86","offer_id":37574987972766,"sku":"","price":2715.02,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true},{"title":"64x102","offer_id":37574988005534,"sku":"","price":3175.81,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true},{"title":"71x114","offer_id":37574988038302,"sku":"","price":3444.87,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/6741\/5710\/products\/TheRueMontorgueilinParis.jpg?v=1746971138","url":"https:\/\/en.replicarte.com.br\/products\/the-rue-montorgueil-in-paris-celebration-of-june-30-1878","provider":"Replicarte","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
