About the piece
Painted in 1899 by Victor Marec, this work documents a pivotal moment in urban history: the construction of the Paris Metropolitan railway at the iconic Pont-Neuf. The composition masterfully balances the raw, temporary wooden structures of the construction site against the permanent stone architecture of the city and the shifting light over the Seine.
