Artist: Alphonse Maureau Title: Bords de la Seine Banks of the Seine Oil on panel, 14.5 x 24 cm Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Florence

Alphonse Maureau shows some skillfull studies from nature done on small scale. The Place Pigalle and the Bords de la Seine are the work of an artist who is still inexperienced, but whose vision is sane and who has a fine sense of the variety and power of color. Paul Mantz, Le Temps, 23 April 1877
