"The Arch," Henry Ossawa Tanner, 1919.
The great Black American artist Tanner (1859-1937) painted this scene not long after a huge ceremony at Paris' Arc de Triomphe to commemorate those who died fighting in WWI.
Born in Pittsburgh to an educated family, he studied art there and in Philadelphia, being taught by luminaries like Thomas Eakins. However, he faced racism in the US, and in 1891 he took off for Europe, eventually settling in Paris.
The French accepted him with open arms. He worked with the Red Cross during WWI, and depicted Black soldiers in his works during the period. This was painted after the war was over, and many in France found it a moving work. He received the Legion of Honor in 1923.
From the Brooklyn Museum.

139,892 paintings examined across 193 museums. Violet was effectively invisible in human art for millennia — then exploded after 1863. The explanation involves evolving retinas and planetary light.
