Simone Mareschal (1932) - The Haussmannian Canon
Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Signed and dated.
On the other side of the window lies a small, private theater of zinc and slate, where the relentless geometry of Haussmannian architraves supports the elegant whimsy of the mansard roofs. It is a sight of almost hypnotic satisfaction to watch the Parisian afternoon light glide over the lead-covered roofs and outline the chimneys like pieces on a monumental chessboard designed solely for my pleasure. Contemplating this endless repetition of moldings and dormer windows from the window offers the rare consolation of one who knows that the city’s perfect order exists today only for the eye.
Image dimensions without frame: 72 x 99 cm / 74 x 101 cm with a custom frame.
