EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Normandy Barrier, situated near the iconic Iena Bridge in Paris. Painted by an anonymous artist from the 19th century French School, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 40x48 cm and is currently housed at the Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. The artwork depicts La Barriere de Normandie, one of the Portes de Paris meticulously designed by renowned architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806). This neoclassical structure stands proudly as a symbol of civil engineering excellence. Its grand columns and arches create a striking entrance to the city, marking its limits with elegance and grace. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported back in time to before 1860 when toll houses were still prevalent along riverbanks. The Normandy Barrier served as both an exit point for those leaving Paris and an entrance for those entering it. It stood tall against the backdrop of River Seine, adding to the picturesque cityscape that has captivated artists throughout history. With every brushstroke captured on canvas, this artwork immortalizes not only a physical structure but also a piece of history. It invites us to appreciate both the architectural marvels that define our cities and their significance within our cultural heritage.
