EDITORS COMMENTS
This impasto painting brings to life the iconic Pont des Arts bridge in Paris, spanning the serene River Seine. Dated circa 1914, this masterpiece transports us back in time, showcasing the bridge as it once was - a pedestrian passageway of beauty and nature. Designed by architects and engineers Louis-Alexandre de Cessart and Jacques Dillon around 1804, the bridge was originally conceived to resemble a suspended garden, a passageway of lush greenery connecting the two banks. In this painting, the bridge's intricate ironwork and delicate stone balustrades are brought to life with rich, vibrant colors. The foreground of the painting draws our attention to a large, docked boat, adding an element of tranquility and serenity to the scene. The water reflects the bridge's elegant curves and the clear blue sky above is dotted with fluffy white clouds. This painting, from the August 1914 volume of "March of the Women" magazine, is a testament to the artistic talent of an unnamed artist and the enduring charm of the Pont des Arts bridge. The impasto technique used in this painting adds depth and texture, making the bridge and its surroundings come alive. The thick layers of paint give the painting a three-dimensional quality, allowing us to almost reach out and touch the ironwork of the bridge or feel the cool water of the Seine. This painting is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into Parisian life over a century ago.
