"Parisian Boulevard," Ramon Pichot i Gironès, 1898/1901. The darkness gathers as various figures walk along a tree-lined street illuminated by lanterns. A Catalan Impressionist, Pichot was an early mentor to Salvador Dali and a friend to Picasso and Gertrude Stein. This hangs in the Museu del Cau Ferrat in Sitges, Spain. #art #Impressionists #CatalanArt #SpanishArt
