Baliat 1873, Suresnes Bridge And The Arc De Triomphe In The Distance
Artist: Baliat 1873
Oil on canvas in an oak wood frame, also known as an American box frame.
The painting is in good condition. Note some age-related craquelure and old restorations.
It appears to have been relined, probably in the mid-20th century.
Signed lower left: Baliat 1873.
A very beautiful depiction of a bridge that disappeared after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
A very high-quality painting with numerous figures, carriages, and a steamboat.
In the distance, one can see the Bois de Boulogne, and in the background, Paris with the Arc de Triomphe and, to its left, the Montmartre hill. Only the Eiffel Tower is missing, as it hadn't yet been built!
Dimensions:
Painting: 90 x 68 cm
Framed: 97.5 x 75 cm
The construction of a toll bridge was authorized by an ordinance of King Louis-Philippe dated July 6, 1839, as part of a 77-year concession. It was a suspension bridge, and the names of its designers vary depending on the source. Among those cited are the engineer Eugène Flachat, Mr. Surville, and the Seguin brothers, engineers from the Ardèche region. The bridge measured 150 meters in length over three spans, the longest of which was 63 meters. The suspension system was original, using iron slats made of superimposed flexible strips (flat iron bars), a system patented by Mr. Muel. Opened on April 24, 1842, it was destroyed during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 by residents of Suresnes panicked by a rumor announcing the arrival of Prussian troops. It was subsequently Temporarily replaced by a pontoon bridge.
