River Seine Paris Evening
An evening view of the Bras de la Monnaie (the money arm) of the River Seine beside the Ile de la Cite in Paris. This is a view from Pont Neuf (New Bridge) with Pont de Saint Michel (St Michel’s Bridge) in the distance. The keen-eyed viewer will notice the huge fabric curtain covering scaffolding on the Parquet du Tribunal de Grande Instance (main courthouse) advertising Gucci fashion. In fact, most of the iconic buildings in Paris, undergoing renovation in October 2023, were colourfully wrapped to hide multi-storey scaffolding. Notre Dame Cathedral lies behind the courthouse tower at left. I have not painted the absolutely huge tower crane above the cathedral.
