1950s
About the Item
Pierre Giraud's "Embankment of the Seine River" Parisian cityscape, portraying the iconic Pont au Change bridge, offers a mesmerizing scene at dusk.
A mastering execution of chiaroscuro. The sunset illuminates select points across the canvas—a subtle touch accentuating the facades of buildings across La Conciergerie on the Île de la Cité and a passing white riverboat beneath the bridge's archway.
The canvas pulsates with the city's evening fervor, capturing the lively traffic traversing the bridge. Yet, amidst this urban hustle, the left foreground presents a serene contrast—the quiet embankment of Pont au Change marked by leafless trees hinting at the impending winter.
The Pont au Change holds historical significance, having witnessed multiple iterations since the 12th century when goldsmiths and money changers once lined its structure. The current bridge was erected between 1858 and 1860.
Pierre Giraud (1913-1988) is a Postwar artist.

- "Parisian Street", Cityscape Oil on Canvas by Robert FarringtonLocated in Pasadena, CAThis Robert Farrington's painting serves as a visual gateway to a distinct period in post-war France, composed with a deep respect for the elements interwoven into the collective memory of Paris. His work adeptly engages with the archetypal settings and concepts that convey the quintessence of this beloved and frequently visited capital. As the viewer gazes upon this artwork, they are instantly immersed in the ambiance of a food trade street, and especially the familiar historic brasserie “Au Pied de Cochon” - the sole establishment in the painting that still exists nowadays - and its surroundings at the heart of the bustling Halles district. At "6 Rue Coquillère", the act of opening the doors, each adorned with handles that resemble pig's trotters, transports one through a temporal gateway into the quintessential French world of "la cochonnaille"... The renowned "Pied de Cochon" restaurant made its debut in 1947. In its early days, it became the preferred gathering place for the "Forts des Halles" – the diligent laborers who tirelessly transported goods through the pavilions of the old Halles de Paris. From these dedicated workers to the luminaries of the time, this establishment emerged as a symbol of Parisian life. Farrington reconstructs a scene around this restaurant, nourished by her own Parisian experience when he was a young American living in France. An iconic Brigitte Bardot poster...Category
