View of the 1867 Exposition Universelle is an 1867 oil painting by the French artist Édouard Manet. A cityscape it offers a panoramic view of the Exposition Universelle then being held in Paris.[1] The vantage point is from the meeting of the Rue Franklin and Rue Vineuse near the Trocadéro looking across the Pont d'Iéna towards the Champ de Mars.[2]
It was likely to have been produced en plein air between the opening of the Exposition on 1 April and Manet's departure for Boulogne in August.[3] The painting is now in the National Museum of Norway in Oslo, which acquired it in 1923.[4]
