An 1875 oil on canvas, *The Great Boulevards*, by [Pierre-Auguste Renoir](https://www.worldhistory.org/Pierre-Auguste_Renoir/) (1841-1919), the French impressionist painter. [Paris](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/paris/) was significantly remodelled in the second half of the 19th century, and one of the results was its now-famous wide boulevards. The bustling streets where all classes could meet were a favourite subject of the impressionists. (Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA)
