About the piece
Painted in 1910 by Alexandre Séon, this Symbolist work is an allegory for the city of Paris and its motto, 'Fluctuat nec mergitur' (Tossed but not sunk). The central figure, draped in a dark hooded cloak, holds a miniature ship—the heraldic symbol of the city—while standing on a simple raft amidst the rising floodwaters of the Seine, with the silhouette of Pont Neuf in the background.
