Charles Marville — Rue des Amandiers
Charles Marville

Rue des Amandiers

A atmospheric photograph by Charles Marville capturing the Rue des Amandiers, a Parisian street documented as part of his renowned work chronicling the city's urban landscape during the era of Haussmann's sweeping transformations. The image reflects Marville's masterful use of light and shadow to convey the quiet, textured character of Parisian streets. Authenticated by the artist's blindstamp identifying him as photographer to the Imperial Museum of the Louvre, this work stands as both an artistic and historical record of mid-19th century Paris.

Medium
Titled in pencil and 'Ch. Marville, Photographe du Musée Imperial du Louvre' blindstamp on the mount.
