Paintings of Paris : Paris’ streets

Hotel Britannique — Fri, 14 May 2010 14:58:21 +0000

There are Paris streets before and after the age of Haussmann. Those before, more original and the product of the anarchic unrbanism of the Middle Ages: the Latin Quarter, the Islands, the Marais and Les Halles. Those after Haussmann, larger and more bourgoise, inaugurated around the middle of the 19th Century. Offering new prespectives, these beautiful grand buildings with their perfectly aligned brickwork facinated and inspired the artists. We find Monet, Gauguin, Pissaro,Caillebotte, Manet and Renoir interpretating with masterful prowess their impressions of the streets of Paris.

Paintings of Paris : the Seine

Hotel Britannique — Tue, 11 May 2010 14:54:01 +0000

Paris is totally inseparable from the great and quiet river that gave her life. Over the centuries the city was built around it, almost as if to better contemplate the river. It has inspired the greatest impressionist painters. In the forefront was Claude Monet, whose brush illuminated the most ordinary scenes on the water’s edge. And considering other original views by Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Gustave Caillebotte, and many others … sensational!
