# Sunset at Ivry [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GUILLAUMIN, Armand]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 65 x 81 cm ## Commentary Guillaumin painted with Pissarro. He worked night shifts in order to paint by day. From Pissarro he took the structure and composition of street views with figures and the creation of spatial depth by the use of twisted lanes. But he also had a somewhat romantically coloured view of modern industry of his own. In the present work we see smoke billowing from factory chimneys in the Paris suburb of Ivry, like triumphant banners fluttering against a ruddy golden evening sky. ## Related artworks - [A Path in the Snow]() - [Barges in the Snow]() - [Landscape in Normandy: Apple Trees]() - [Outskirts of Paris]() - [Quai de la Gare, Snow \(Quai de Bercy\)]() - [Reclining Nude]() - [Still-Life]() - [The Barrage of Genetin, Crozant]() - [The Fishermen]() - [The River, Crozant]() - [The Seine in Winter]() - [View of Agay]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
