Painting / Oil From The 18th Century French School

French school of the 18th century
Vue de Paris - Bord de Seine, évocation médiévale

Eighteenth-century oil on canvas depicting an animated view of the Seine quays in Paris in a historicizing interpretation evoking the Middle Ages.

The scene is organized around large beached boats in the foreground, probably being repaired or towed, while the background reveals dense Parisian architecture, punctuated by an arched stone bridge.

Beautiful composition in depth, subtle palette and luminous atmosphere. Interesting testament to the 18th-century taste for idealized and historical views.

Subtle crazing.

Homogeneous wear craquelure.
Black lacquered wood frame, posterior.
