EDITORS COMMENTS
Rue du Gros Horloge, Rouen, 1824" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned English artist, Richard Parkes Bonington. This monochrome masterpiece, created in the heart of the 1820s, showcases the architectural grandeur of Rouen, a historic city in Normandy, France. The image is taken from the book "Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France, tome II, Normandie," published in 1825 by Baron Taylor. The scene depicts the bustling Rue du Gros Horloge, a street named after the large clock tower that dominates the view. The clock tower, with its intricate Gothic design, stands proudly at the end of the street, its face adorned with ornate details and Roman numerals. The tower casts long shadows over the cobblestone street, which is filled with a crowd of people, all going about their daily business. The lithograph captures the essence of the 19th century, with its black and white palette adding to the timeless quality of the image. The building facades are intricately detailed, each with its unique character, reflecting the rich heritage of the city. The street scene is lively, with people of all ages and social classes mingling in the narrow streets, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the image. This stunning work of art, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to Bonington's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of a place and time. The Rue du Gros Horloge, Rouen, 1824, remains a beloved piece of art and a reminder of the beauty and history of Rouen and Normandy.
