Maxime Lalanne

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a city street under construction. The foreground shows a man carrying a large wooden beam, with other beams and wooden planks scattered around. A tall metal structure, possibly a crane or scaffolding, stands on the left. In the background, several buildings are visible, including one with a dome-shaped roof. The sky is cloudy. The image is an etching, with detailed lines and shading. The scene depicts demolition work, with a large pile of rubble and debris. The image is a cityscape with buildings on either side of the street. The overall tone is one of urban renewal and construction. The title of the work is "Demolition for the Opening of Boulevard St. Germain" by Maxime Lalanne.
