View Of Paris At Pont Louis Philippe Watercolor By Henri Bouvrie 1896 1973 - 38.5 BOUVRIE born in 1896 died in 1973 Henri Bouvrie worked a lot in Paris where he painted the architectural heritage the scenes of Parisian life Extract from the Lorraine site: “He was born in Vertus in Champagne but, in Franc-Comtois, he spent part of his life in Bar le Duc and he exhibited extensively in the Nancy Salons and in certain art galleries in the city. His emotional link with Lorraine is undeniable and therefore we will consider him as a Lorraine cousin. In the "Lorraine country" we find his name in 1934 in the excellent article "The artistic movement in Nancy" by Emile Nicolas, in 1936 or in an issue of 1959 on the occasion of the Salon of "L'Union des artistes from the east". » The Louis-Philippe bridge is a bridge located in Paris and passing over the Seine, between the right bank and the island of Saint-Louis. To cope with the increase in traffic, it was destroyed to be replaced by the current bridge , in 1860. This was built by engineers Edmond-Jules Féline-Romany and Jules Savarin between August 1860 and April 1862, a little further upstream than the previous work. This time, it crosses the Seine perpendicularly, over its entire width. With a total length of 100 m, and a width of 15.20 m, the Louis-Philippe bridge was inaugurated in April 1862. Each of the 4 m wide piers placed in the Seine is decorated with a crown of foliage in stone which surrounds a metal rosette. The only modification it has received since then (unlike its contemporary, the Bercy Bridge), consisted of identically replacing the stone railings, which had been badly damaged by bad weather, in 1995.
