Charles Méryon

House with a Turret, No. 22 Street of the School of Medicine

1861

Charles Meryon's etching "House with a Turret, No. 22 Street of the School of Medicine" depicts a narrow Parisian building with meticulous architectural detail characteristic of the artist's highly skilled printmaking technique. The composition captures the structure's distinctive turret and Gothic Revival elements with fine linear hatching and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. This work exemplifies Meryon's obsessive attention to the topographical and historical features of Paris during the 19th century.
