EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Seine and La Porte de la Conference" by Flemish artist Pieter Casteels I, painted around 1689. The artwork, now housed in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, beautifully captures a serene urban landscape of 17th century Paris. In this oil on canvas masterpiece, Casteels skillfully depicts the majestic Seine River flowing gracefully through the heart of the city. The focal point of the painting is La Porte de la Conference, an imposing gateway that once stood near the right bank of the river. This architectural marvel was originally built to facilitate entry into Paris but sadly met its demise in approximately 1730. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility as we gaze upon the picturesque river and admire the surrounding buildings that line its banks. Through his meticulous brushstrokes and attention to detail, Casteels transports us back in time to experience a glimpse of old-world Parisian charm. This remarkable piece not only celebrates Flemish artistry but also serves as a historical testament to an important landmark that has long vanished from our modern world. It invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty captured on canvas and reflect upon how cities evolve over time.
