“Eiffel Tower and The Seine,” created circa 1906 by Pierre Bonnard, is an oil on canvas work representative of the Post-Impressionism art movement. Measuring 24.1 by 28 centimeters, this cityscape is privately held in a collection.
The artwork captures a serene scene of the iconic Eiffel Tower adjacent to the tranquil flow of the Seine River. The composition is infused with delicate, muted hues, enhancing the atmospheric quality typical of Bonnard’s oeuvre. Ethereal light cascades across the sky, reflecting upon the river’s surface, punctuated by the presence of boats and architectural silhouettes. The painterly brushwork and nuanced palette evoke a contemplative ambiance, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in this portrayal of Parisian life.
