About the piece
Painted in 1763 by Nicolas-Jean-Baptiste Raguenet, this masterpiece offers a detailed window into Enlightenment-era Paris. The composition centers on the equestrian statue of Henri IV at the Pont Neuf, looking toward the Louvre and the Tuileries Palace under a vast, cloud-swept sky. The foreground is alive with the rhythmic movement of ornate carriages and pedestrians, rendered with the topographical precision characteristic of Raguenet’s celebrated cityscapes.
