EDITORS COMMENTS
This delicate pointillist sheet, glistening with light, captures the essence of a summer day along the Seine. Painted by Hippolyte Petitjean between 1912 and 1914, "Le Pont Neuf" transports us to a serene moment in Parisian history. The artwork depicts a view from the famous bridge, looking downriver through its arches towards the bathing cabins and trees by Place Henri IV. Using watercolor and gouache on cream wove paper, Petitjean masterfully employs luminescent dots and divisionist techniques to create a mesmerizing play of light on the surface of his painting. Each carefully placed dot adds depth and vibrancy to this neo-impressionist masterpiece. The artist's use of color is particularly striking in this piece. The cool blues of the river contrast beautifully with the warm tones of the surrounding buildings and foliage. Through his meticulous brushwork, Petitjean brings life to every detail – from the intricate architecture of the bridge's arches to the lush greenery that lines its banks. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time to early 20th-century Paris – a city known for its romance and artistic inspiration. This print serves as a reminder of both Petitjean's incredible talent as well as our own longing for moments spent basking in sunlight along picturesque riversides.
