Dimensions: 46 38 cm x

 JL Flandrin painted this canvas seen from his studio located at 19 Quai Saint Michel in Paris. This close friend of Matisse, Marquet and companion of Jacqueline Marval immortalizes Paris and its city center with accuracy, lyricism, in search of the right light. The touch is free, JL Flandrin paints with great restraint as if he wanted to accompany the spectator in his discovery of the places. A few silhouettes are slightly evoked on the bridge, barely perceptible to the eye. 

  As early as 1897, Jules Léon Flandrin's paintings were accepted at the Salon du Champs de Mars and in 1898, he became one of the youngest members of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He discovered the Russian ballets when they arrived in Paris in 1909 with Nijinsky, Pavlova, and Karsavina. 

 He took part in several international exhibitions: in 1910 in London (Stafford Gallery with the neo-impressionists, in 1913 in Interlaken, Berlin and Munich. Appointed a member of the Salon d'Automne in 1911, he carried out various commissions for the State. In 1912, he received the Legion of Honour in a civilian capacity. After the death of his wife Henriette Deloras during the Second World War in 1941, Jules L. Flandrin also died in Corenc in 1947.
