This splendid original print demonstrates a full mastery of the techniques, and our specimen has preserved its beauty to find in the different and evident nuances of gray and black, a vibrant black in the reflections of the water and a deep black in the foundations of the architecture, the lightness and the fluidity of the sign delineate the clouds and the sky.

Some copies of the same print are preserved at the Clarence Buckingham Collection, and at the Detroit Institute of Art, and at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Charles Méryon was a French engraver, born in 1821 in Paris. During his life, he visited many countries, capturing their landscapes in drawings. In 1849, E. Bléry introduced him to the engraving technique. The artist is famous for the perfection of his technique and for the intense poetic interpretation of his subjects. He lived in poverty and died in 1868 in Charenton.
