The building, which was an answer to Emperor Napoléon’s III (1808-18773) sanitary demands and reforms, fascinated the first photographers.

01 Painting, Streets of Paris, VICTOR GABRIEL GILBERT’S At the Flower Market, with footnotes, Part 77

At the Flower Market, in contrast to many of Gilbert’s compositions, is set in one of the smaller flower stalls in the French capital. In the center of the composition, an elegant young lady deliberates over her choices for the day, testing the fragrance of pink roses, watched and perhaps encouraged by the stall’s proprietor. To the right and set on the ground are neatly arranged bright bouquets wrapped in white paper to set off their brilliant colors. Pots of brilliant red geraniums dot the foreground, while a small vegetable stand defines the background to the left. This vibrant image is enhanced by Gilbert’s virtuoso technique, realistic sense of detail and close observation of nature. In At the Flower Market, Gilbert beckons the viewer to enter a time gone by, where the fragrance of flowers still lingers. More on this painting

The Pont des Arts or Passerelle des Arts is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the River Seine. It links the Institut de France and the central square (cour carrée) of the Palais du Louvre, (which had been termed the “Palais des Arts” under the First French Empire); between 1802 and 1804, under the reign of Napoleon I

In 1976, the Inspector of Bridges and Causeways reported several deficiencies on the bridge. More specifically, he noted the damage that had been caused by two aerial bombardments sustained during World War I and World War II and the harm done from the multiple collisions caused by boats. The bridge would be closed to circulation in 1977 and, in 1979, suffered a 60-metre collapse after a barge rammed into it.

The present bridge was built between 1981 and 1984 “identically” according to the plans of Louis Arretche.

The bridge has sometimes served as a place for art exhibitions, and is today a studio en plein air for painters, artists and photographers. The Pont des Arts is also frequently a spot for picnics during the summer. More on The Pont des Arts
