Rouen, a city steeped in history and art, captivates visitors with its enchanting charm. As Claude Monet's brushstrokes beautifully captured the Seine at Rouen in 1872, one can almost feel the gentle flow of the river and hear its soothing whispers. The magnificent Rouen Cathedral stands tall, as seen in "La cathedrale de Rouen. Le portail, soleil matinal. " The vibrant morning sun illuminates the portal, casting a mesmerizing glow on this architectural masterpiece. In 1910, aviation took center stage during an exciting week at Rouen. A poster advertising this event reminds us of the city's innovative spirit and its embrace of progress. Not only was Rouen connected to France but also to London through French railways. Another poster entices travelers to embark on a journey filled with cultural exchange and new experiences. History comes alive as we remember Joan of Arc kissing the cross before her fateful end. This poignant moment symbolizes courage and unwavering faith amidst adversity. Walking through Rue Epicerie in 1882 or Rue de l'Epicerie (Effect of Sunlight) in 1898 by Camille Pissarro transports us back to bustling streets filled with life and commerce. These paintings capture everyday scenes that evoke nostalgia for simpler times. Henry Edridge's artwork from 1821 showcases Rue De La Grosse Horloge—a street adorned with a grand clock tower that has become an iconic symbol of Rouen's rich heritage. During World War I, Algernon Blackwood & Alfred Taylor found themselves intertwined with Rouen's story—an era marked by sacrifice and resilience against unimaginable odds. From Monet to Pissarro, from medieval trials to modern advancements—a tapestry woven together by artistry, bravery, and progress.
