Eternity RPC Board
The concept is plain and simple: post a work of art (sculpture, painting, photograph - whatever), and tell us why you like it. Also don't forget to mention the creator and the title of the artwork.
Ps: try to keep the images within a reasonable size

Title: Place de la Concorde
Year: 1875
Artist: Edgar Degas
I came across this painting in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, or actually the building directly opposite to it which used to be the old headquarters of the Chiefs of Staff of the Russian army. I generally like impressionist paintings because they are the kind of paintings that I would actually enjoy having on my wall in my own house and would never grow tired of seeing over and over again, because they seem alive.
I liked this particular painting because of its strange composition, that suggests as if it was literally painted ad hoc there in the middle of a street in Paris, with some gentlemen coincidentally passing by and crossing the view. I also like these kind of scenes because they appear natural (no one seems to be posing, it doesn't look staged) and I like to think they give away a peek view into what ordinary life and society looked like in an age that none of us can really imagine what it was like.
