About the piece
This detailed 17th-century painting offers a sweeping vista of Paris as it appeared around 1670. From the prominent facade of the Louvre on the left to the distant Pont-Neuf, the work captures the Seine alive with activity, featuring everything from humble barges to a magnificent royal galley in the foreground. The atmospheric treatment of the sky and the meticulous rendering of the city's architectural heritage make this a quintessential piece of French historical art.
