A walk in Paris

Painting of a stroll in Paris

This painting depicts a strolling scene in a Paris that has become timeless. The colours oscillate between bright in the foreground, with two walkers dressed in cardinal red, autumnal orange and red vegetation and a tree stretching the full height of the canvas - then comes the view of the misty distance: the tones become soft, beige and warm. Here we see the Sully Bridge, Notre Dame and the Île Saint Louis.

Portrait format

The portrait format used here is particularly interesting because it can be read like a musical stave. There are different planes, like layers, each telling a story. First the walkers, then the Seine, the bridge and finally Notre Dame.

Deco interest

Because of its glamorous look, this painting is best reserved for a Parisian flat. It could also be given as a gift to a lover of French-style decoration.
