EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century oil painting by Le Roux captures the breathtaking view of ile Saint-Louis and ile de la Cite, as seen from the tip of Arsenal in Paris. The scene is set during an evening hour, with the darkening sky casting a gentle hue over the cityscape. The curved embankment of the River Seine, leading to the two islands, is a testament to the rich geographical heritage of Paris, the capital city of France and a European cultural hub. The historic islands of ile de la Cite and ile Saint-Louis, located in the heart of the city, are bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. The iconic silhouette of the Notre-Dame Cathedral, a symbol of Parisian history and heritage, stands proudly on ile de la Cite. The buildings on both islands, with their warm and inviting colors, add depth and character to the scene. The Arsenal building, a significant military and naval institution in Paris during the 18th century, is depicted in the foreground. Its grand architecture, with its arched windows and curving lines, complements the natural curves of the riverbanks and the islands. This painting is a treasure from the collections of the Musee Carnavalet, the historic museum of Paris, which holds an extensive collection of art and artifacts chronicling the city's history from its founding to the present day. The painting's authenticity and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to the museum's holdings and a must-see for anyone interested in Parisian history and art.
