Jongkind's precise, light-filled, atmospheric landscapes were admired by the Impressionists but, unlike them, he tended to work in the studio from drawings and watercolours made on the spot. This painting, showing the effect of the setting sun over the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, was painted for the Bordeaux collector, Théophile Bascle, in 1864.
