Painters of the Seine

The bridges of Paris feature in many paintings. Pont Neuf, Pont des Arts, Pont de l'Alma have all crossed the canvas of major artists. The Île de la Cité, with its silhouette of Notre-Dame, also continues to inspire.

Outside the capital, the surroundings of the Seine remain a source of inspiration: the gardens of Giverny, the river banks at Argenteuil, the village of Vétheuil. So many subjects that prolong the dialogue between landscape and painting.
