EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Lyon during the 16th century. Created in 1856 by Charles Francois Daubigny, this engraving provides a glimpse into the rich history of this French city. The image showcases a panoramic view taken from the Croix-Rousse hill, offering an aerial perspective of Lyon's landscape. The focal point of the engraving is undoubtedly the confluence of two mighty rivers, the Saône and Rhône. These waterways played a significant role in shaping Lyon's development and prosperity throughout history. We can also observe the central peninsula, once known as Kanabae Island, which was connected to Vieux Lyon by Pont de Saône. Engraved with meticulous detail by Trichon, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Renaissance-era Lyon. From its bustling town streets to its architectural wonders that still stand today, every element within this image tells a story. Lyon's strategic location between these two rivers made it an important trading hub during this period. Its significance as a cultural and economic center is evident through its well-preserved buildings and landmarks that have stood for centuries. As we gaze upon this birds-eye view of Lyon from centuries past, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how life unfolded within these ancient walls. This enchanting piece serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece that allows us to appreciate Lyon's enduring charm and heritage.
