"Georges Michel, View Of Paris Around 1800"
Georges Michel, an artist well known for his pre-romantic landscapes of views of mills in chiaroscuro plains, was a modernist. this small drawing, like many of them, offers us a view of Paris from Place Saint Sulpice. Note on the right the Pantheon under construction with its scaffolding, the Val de Grace in the middle and further to the right the bell tower of the Saint Antoine Hospital and in the foreground on the right, the Luxembourg Gardens. Photo before its time, from the designer who captures a Paris with its unbuilt areas. Perhaps Georges Michel wanted to show the changes, like current urban developments.
