Le Pont des Arts Painting

This painting is a representation in Jean-François Laurent's characteristic geometric style of the Pont des Arts, as seen from the Louvre in Paris. The metal architecture, all curves and intersecting lines, lends itself particularly well to the artist's painting. The work also focuses on perspective, in the arches, the railing as well as in the lampposts that punctuate the bridge up to the door of the Institut de France. She invites the viewer to walk across the bridge, as if attracted by the canvas. The geometric vision reinforces the impression of complexity of this structure, a work of architecture as well as art. The shapes thus cut out on the canvas allow the artist to play with contrasts, opposing shadows and lights to give dynamism to the canvas. The colour palette goes from greys to warm browns on the whole canvas. Thus the sky uses the same chromatic range as the monuments, creating a link between the material and the immaterial, between life and art. More than a simple representation of an urban landscape, this painting is a reminder of the importance of art and artists in a sometimes difficult or monotonous daily life.
