EDITORS COMMENTS
Frank Will's captivating watercolor painting, titled "Place of the Opera," transports us back in time to a rainy day in Paris during the early to mid-20th century. The iconic Place de l'Opéra, located in the heart of the French capital and the 2nd arrondissement, serves as the focal point of this enchanting scene. The grandiose buildings, adorned with intricate architectural details and ornate facades, dominate the urban landscape. The Place de l'Opéra, a large square, is bustling with activity as people scurry for cover from the rain, their umbrellas creating a colorful mosaic against the grayish-blue sky. In the foreground, a narrow lane filled with cars, both automobiles and motor cars, adds a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The use of watercolor as the art medium allows for the delicate rendering of the buildings' textures and the shimmering reflections on the wet pavement. The cloudy sky, a common feature of a wintry Parisian day, adds to the overall mood of the painting. The presence of cars on the road, a relatively new form of transportation during this time, highlights the changing times and the evolution of urban life. This work of art, created by Frank Will between 1900 and 1951, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and charm of a bygone era. The Place de l'Opéra, with its rich history and architectural grandeur, continues to be a beloved landmark in Paris and a source of inspiration for artists and visitors alike.
