View of Saint-Cloud, Near the Seine, 1809. Creator: Alexandre Pau de St. Martin (French)
View of Saint-Cloud, Near the Seine, 1809. This painting depicts the park associated with the royal Chateau of Saint-Cloud, famous for its terraced gardens overlooking the River Seine. At the left of the scene, notice one of the parks gazebos set among the trees. This view from Saint-Cloud over the river was a traditional and popular one. Very little is known about the life of Pau de Saint-Martin. Most of his surviving works are landscapes, the titles of which indicate he painted in the Forest of Fontainebleau, southeast of Paris, as early as 1795. Perhaps the artist is most important as the teacher of his nephew Theodore Rousseau (1812-1867), who became the founder of the Barbizon school of landscape painting

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alexandre Pau de St. Martin's masterpiece, "View of Saint-Cloud, Near the Seine, 1809". The painting transports us to the enchanting park surrounding the royal Chateau of Saint-Cloud in France. Renowned for its terraced gardens that gracefully overlook the majestic River Seine, this scene exudes tranquility and natural beauty. In this composition, our attention is drawn to a charming gazebo nestled amidst lush trees on the left side of the frame. This picturesque view from Saint-Cloud over the river has long been cherished by art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. While little is known about Pau de Saint-Martin's personal life, his surviving works primarily consist of breathtaking landscapes. His titles suggest that he began painting in the Forest of Fontainebleau as early as 1795. However, his significance extends beyond his own artistic achievements; he also served as a mentor to his nephew Theodore Rousseau (1812-1867), who later became renowned as the founder of Barbizon school landscape painting. This particular print captures an exquisite moment frozen in time during France's 19th century heritage. With delicate brushstrokes and masterful use of oil on fabric technique, Pau de St. Martin skillfully immortalizes one of nature's most idyllic scenes. Displayed proudly at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this artwork stands testament to both French cultural heritage and Pau de St. Martin's undeniable talent as an artist
