Roland Hamon
'The Pont Marie and Bateau Mouche' in Paris

1971

About the Item

‘The Pont Marie and Bateau Mouche’ in Paris, watercolour on art paper, by Roland Hamon (1971). The artist combines two icons of Paris in this depiction on a beautiful blue summer day. The Pont Marie is one of the oldest bridges in Paris that dates back to the 17th Century and was constructed to join the Île Saint-Louis to the right bank of the River Seine and was named after its designer. Of course, many renowned buildings are on the Seine, delighting visitors who can see the history of the city unfolding along the banks of the river. Certainly the mention of a cruise on the Seine conjures up images of the bateaux-mouches, or fly-boats. Each day the bateaux-mouches navigate under the Pont Marie to the delight of their passengers. Hamon's depiction of this is filled with simple charm and invites lovers of Paris to hang this piece on their wall at home or at work. The painting is in good overall condition and is newly framed with anti-reflective glass. It is signed by the artist in the lower right hand. On the reverse of the painting (see the photos), the artist wrote: "La Seine vu de l'Ile St Louis" ("Paris - The Seine river viewed from the Isle St. Louis 1971" (and his signature)). Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video will be provided. About the Artist: Roland Hamon (1909-1987), was a French painter of landscapes and animated urban scenes. He was a student at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris and exhibited at the Salon des Artists where he was a member since 1934. A prolific artist, we owe him a debt of thanks for having captured and preserved so many views of Paris from the 1930s to the 1970s. His artworks are collected internationally and frequently appear for sale in the major auction houses.

This artwork is a delightful depiction of a Parisian street which scales the hill to the neighbourhood of Montmartre, the home of the basilica of Sacré-Cœur.

The signed artwork is in good overall condition and has been newly framed with anti-reflective glass. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video of the piece may be provided. About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker. The very precariousness of the family's financial situation forced him to go to work at the age of 14. In extreme poverty, he moved to Rouen where he was lodged by the Salvation Army. During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing. He moved to other cities later where he met painters including, among others, Fred Pailhès...

  • Notre Dame de Paris
    By Lucien Génin
    Located in London, GB
    'Notre Dame de Paris', gouache on paper, by Lucien Génin (circa 1930s). An absolutely charming and now, historic depiction from the 1930s, of the most famous cathedral in France. It is one of the most widely recognised symbols of the city of Paris and the French nation. As the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame contains the cathedra of the Archbishop of Paris. Approximately 12 million people visit Notre-Dame annually, making it the most visited monument in Paris. While undergoing renovation and restoration, the roof of Notre-Dame caught fire on the evening of 15 April 2019. Burning for around 15 hours, the cathedral sustained serious damage. The government of France hopes the reconstruction can be completed by Spring 2024, in time for the opening of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Unlike the actual cathedral, this artwork is in good condition, is newly framed and glazed and signed by the artist in the lower left hand corner. Upon request a video may be provided. About the Artist: After the devastation of the First World War, Lucien Génin (1894 - 1953) left his provincial home in the autumn of 1919 to find his fortune among the lively Parisians in the heart of Montmartre. Génin befriended the painters Frank Will, Gen Paul, Émile Boyer, Marcel Leprin...

  • Le Pont Neuf
    By Lucien Génin
    Located in London, GB
    'Le Pont Neuf', gouache on fine art paper, by Lucien Génin (circa 1930s). The Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. It stands by the western point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was, between 250 and 225 BC, the birthplace of Paris. It is called 'The New Bridge' because at the time of its inauguration (built 1578-1607), it embodied a very modern look compared to other bridges which spanned the Seine. Lucien Génin has captured its beauty in this lively depiction from the 1930s. Just before the bridge is a 'Bateau Mouche' an open excursion boat that provides visitors with a view of the city from along the river. The artwork is in good overall condition commensurate with age and medium used. It has been newly frame with anti-reflective glass. Please enjoy the photos accompanying this listing. Signed by the artist in the lower left hand. Upon request a video may be provided.
