Ile Saint-Louis red, Paris Painting

Rue Jean du Bellay - a very small street which crosses the Ile Saint-Louis in Paris - happily combines Haussmann and the sweetness of life. At the forefront, the large wall of the quays is full of light and the beautiful color of the stones is almost imperceptible under the sun of this sunny August afternoon. Under the delicate shadows of the trees and parasols, it's aperitif time and the guests, the glasses, the plates give a concert of colors and reflections. In the background, beyond the Louis-Philippe bridge, a few buildings on the right bank glow gently in the sun. Red series like the vibrant light of August and the heat of midday. This painting can form a diptych with the painting "Saint-Louis blue island" (same height, same width) The drawing which served as the basis for the painting was made on Tuesday August 15, 2023 at 6 p.m. Dry pastel on reconstituted wood panel Temporary protection base and plexiglass, hanging ring
