About the piece
Painted in 1815 by Jacques Auguste Regnier, this evocative work captures the monumental stone arches of the Quai de Gesvres in Paris. Regnier employs a striking chiaroscuro technique, contrasting the deep, mysterious shadows of the interior with the brilliant golden light of the Seine and the city beyond.
