EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century oil painting by Nicolas Jean Baptiste Raguenet captures the vibrant scene of Pont-Neuf and the Samaritaine pump, as viewed from Megisserie quay. The iconic bridge, adorned with ornate sculptures and bustling with activity, spans the Seine River and connects the Île de la Cité with the Left Bank. In the foreground, the Samaritaine pump house stands proudly, its water pump supplying essential water to the city's residents. The painting offers a glimpse into the daily life of Paris during this era, with men and women of all classes going about their business. The busy quay is filled with traffic and transportation, from horse-drawn carriages to boats on the river. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, with clouds gathering in the sky, hinting at the changing weather. This painting is a valuable addition to the collection of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, which showcases the rich history of the capital city. Raguenet masterfully captures the essence of Parisian life in the 18th century, making this a must-see for anyone interested in the heritage and culture of France.
