About the piece

Painted in 1908, this work by Albert Marquet captures the energetic atmosphere of early 20th-century Paris at the Pont Saint-Michel. A contemporary of the Fauves, Marquet employs a sophisticated palette of soft greys and pops of saturated color, using broad, economic brushstrokes to define the architectural rhythm of the bridge and the movement of the city against the flowing Seine.
