EDITORS COMMENTS
Pont-Neuf, Seine, and the Louvre: A Vibrant Scene of Parisian Life by Pieter Casteels (circa 1670) This stunning 17th century oil painting by Flemish artist Pieter Casteels III captures the bustling activity along the banks of the Seine River in Paris. The iconic Pont-Neuf bridge connects the Left and Right Banks of the city, and serves as a backdrop for a lively market scene. Market traders, both male and female, set up their stalls along the riverfront, offering an array of goods for sale. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, engage in animated conversation and haggle over prices. The Louvre Museum, a historic institution and a center of art and culture, looms in the background. Its grand architecture, with its distinctive glass pyramid addition, stands in stark contrast to the more rustic market scene. The Seine River, a geographical feature that has long been a source of inspiration for artists, flows calmly beneath the bridge, reflecting the vibrant colors of the scene. This painting, now housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the city. The use of oil on canvas allows for a rich, textured depiction of the scene, with the colors and details remaining vibrant even after centuries have passed. The painting invites us to take a step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of Paris in the 17th century.
