About the Item

Y. Gonez (French, mid-20th century) Pont Neuf, Paris, ca. 1950s Oil on canvas, in a Montparnasse-style frame In this evocative view of the Pont Neuf, Y. Gonez captures the quiet poetry of Paris’ oldest standing bridge as it gracefully spans the Seine. The softened reflections in the water, the delicate silhouettes of winter trees, and the pastel façades of Île de la Cité’s architecture all come together in a composition that feels both immediate and timeless. Gonez’s characteristic impasto brushwork and vibrant palette breathe life into this familiar Parisian scene, transforming it into a celebration of color, texture, and atmosphere. A painter deeply rooted in the mid-century Parisian tradition, Gonez followed in the footsteps of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, finding inspiration not in grand monuments alone, but in the everyday elegance of the city’s streets, markets, and riversides. His interpretation of the Pont Neuf—a site immortalized by artists from Renoir to Marquet—offers a fresh, modern perspective on a historic landmark, blending energy with nostalgia. Framed in a classic Montparnasse-style frame, with its weathered patina and artisanal carving, this piece embodies the spirit of Parisian artistic culture in the 1950s—a time when painters sought to capture fleeting moments of urban beauty with expressive freedom. Gonez’s Paris is one of movement and memory, where the Seine reflects not only the bridges and buildings but also the enduring soul of the city itself.
