{"product_id":"le-pont-neuf-paris-charles-meryon","title":"Le Pont-Neuf, Paris - Charles Meryon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Charles Meryon depicting the historic Pont-Neuf in Paris, showcasing the artist's mastery of line and architectural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Meryon produced this etching as part of his celebrated series, Eaux-fortes sur Paris. The work depicts the Pont-Neuf, the oldest standing bridge in Paris, captured with a focus on the structural weight of the stone arches and the surrounding urban environment. Meryon employs a precise, linear technique to define the masonry, the scaffolding visible near the water, and the distant buildings that frame the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the picturesque views of the city common in the mid-nineteenth century, Meryon presents a vision of Paris that feels both historical and melancholic. The composition uses the bridge as a heavy, grounding element, while the sky remains relatively sparse, drawing the eye toward the textures of the stone and the reflections on the Seine. The artist spent significant time observing the city, and his work reflects a preoccupation with the transformation of Paris during the Haussmann era. By documenting these older structures, he preserved a version of the city that was rapidly disappearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe etching demonstrates Meryon's technical mastery of the copper plate. His use of cross-hatching and varied line weights creates a sense of depth and atmospheric density. The figures in the small boat in the foreground provide a sense of scale, contrasting the human presence against the permanence of the architecture. This print offers a view into the mid-nineteenth-century French capital, capturing a specific moment in the history of urban development through a disciplined, graphic lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/connoisseurs-or-portrait-collectors-thomas-rowlandson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eConnoisseurs - or Portrait Collectors!!! - Thomas Rowlandson — Thomas Rowlandson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-bellman-samuel-palmer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Bellman - Samuel Palmer — Samuel Palmer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charles Meryon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442751246671,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442765500751,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442765533519,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442765566287,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442765599055,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442765631823,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442765664591,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442765697359,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442765730127,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442765762895,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442765795663,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442765828431,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Le-Pont-Neuf-Paris_Poster_CompositorV1_1786211427943.jpg?v=1786400496","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/le-pont-neuf-paris-charles-meryon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
