This print titled "Polichinelle near the Pont des Arts in Paris" takes us back to the middle of the 19th century, capturing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases a lively street scene in Paris, France, where a crowd has gathered around a street musician playing his instrument with great enthusiasm. In the foreground stands Polichinelle, an iconic marionette character known for his mischievous antics and comedic performances. Dressed in traditional attire, he adds an element of playfulness and entertainment to this bustling cityscape. The Pont des Arts bridge serves as the backdrop, its elegant architecture contrasting with the animated atmosphere below. Photographed by Jean Henri Marlet in 1889, this engraving beautifully captures not only the vibrancy of Parisian life but also highlights how art transcends time. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported to an era long gone yet still alive within these frames.
