EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1860 oil painting by Jean-Baptiste Arthur Calame, titled "Poterne des Peupliers," captures the picturesque scene of a bridge in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France. The painting, now housed in the Musee Carnavalet, transports us back to the 19th century with its rich, vibrant colors and intricate details. The bridge, known as the Poterne des Peupliers, spans the Seine River and serves as a way in to the historic neighborhood. In the background, the roofs of buildings and the towering structure of the bridge are framed by the lush greenery of the riverbank, dotted with trees and people. The bridge's arched entrance is adorned with intricate carvings and stonework, adding to its historic charm. Calame masterfully captures the essence of Parisian life in this painting, with people going about their daily business on the bridge and along the riverbank. The scene is reminiscent of a carnival, with the bustling activity and the sense of community that comes with living in a city. The painting's Swiss-born creator, Jean-Baptiste Arthur Calame, was known for his landscapes and cityscapes, and this work is no exception. The use of oil paint allows for a lush, textured depiction of the scene, with every detail from the ripples in the river to the individual leaves on the trees rendered in stunning detail. The Poterne des Peupliers bridge has been a fixture of Parisian life for centuries, and this painting serves as a testament to its enduring beauty and significance. The painting is now a cherished part of the collection at the Musee Carnavalet, which holds a wealth of other historic treasures from Paris and France.
