Further details

Paradoxically, Albert Marquet is known both as a painter of exotic views as experienced on his travels, and as a narrator of the view from his own Parisian window. In the present painting, Le Pont-Neuf, he expresses himself as a native of that city, depicting the cityscape of which he was so fond. Characteristically, Marquet has adopted a plunging view of the famous bridge, as seen from his studio but also depicted with a certain sense of remoteness. As the Impressionists before him, who had repeatedly returned to the same subject in order to capture the light at varying times of day, Marquet devoted himself to several preferred views - the port of Algiers, Notre Dame, or Saint Hilaire - and in these his focus became depicting any changes in the weather or the effects of sunlight.

Whilst artists such as André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck painted the same view with colors little based in reality, Marquet's palette allowed for intermittent explosions of color but retain a firmer grounding in the view before him. In the present painting, that view is of the Pont-Neuf, the oldest bridge across the Seine, and belongs to the artist's 'Paris Suite' series; he found his inspiration in the river Seine, its quais, bridges and crowds, whether in sunshine, rain, summer or winter, and it was against this paradoxically familiar and traditional background that he executed the most innovative works in his oeuvre.
