Among Stanislas Lépine’s characteristic views of the Seine, the present work, La Seine devant Saint-Denis, is a spectacular example in terms of scale, quality and strong sense of atmosphere. Although he is not considered to be an Impressionist, Lepine was included in the first Impressionist show in Nadar’s studio in 1874, exhibiting Bords de la Seine (1869, Musée d’Orsay, Paris). He was a student of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s, and the master’s influence is demonstrated here through a soft, even palette and the effects of sunlight reflected on the water and the buildings on the riverbank. Saint-Denis, a suburb north of Paris, was well-known as an industrial center, with over eighty factories in operation by the end of the nineteenth century; Lépine punctuates this landscape with their tall vertical smokestacks, billowing smoke into the air.
