EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Lyon, a vibrant city nestled in east-central France. Painted by the talented French artist Louis Etienne Watelet in 1830, this masterpiece showcases his mastery of gouache and watercolour techniques. The focal point of the artwork is an exquisite bridge that spans across the river, connecting different parts of Lyon together. The bridge serves as a symbol of unity and connectivity within the city. It stands tall and proud against a backdrop of charming buildings and bustling streets. As you gaze at this print, you can almost feel the energy emanating from Lyon's lively atmosphere. Intriguingly, a barge floats peacefully along the river beneath the bridge. This hints at Lyon's historical significance as a hub for water transport during that era. The quay beside it adds to the authenticity and charm captured by Watelet's brushstrokes. Watelet's attention to detail brings every element to life - from architectural intricacies to reflections on water surfaces. His use of colours evokes warmth and nostalgia, transporting viewers back in time to witness Lyon's beauty through his eyes. This print is not just an art piece; it is also a window into history - reminding us of Lyon's rich cultural heritage and its importance as both an artistic inspiration and economic center throughout centuries past.
