50 x 50 x 3cm (unframed)
£998.58
Original artwork description
Paris didn't happen by accident. Neither did this.
Haussmann fascinated me — the audacity of a man handed a city and told to reinvent it. Napoleon III dreamed it up while exiled in London, jealous of its grandeur. Then he unleashed Haussmann, who bulldozed, rebuilt, and reimagined without apology.
That energy demanded a warm ground — this deep ochre — with a line that moves like someone who always knew where he was going. The ruffled cravat, the posture, the self-possession. He wasn't modest about what he was doing, and this portrait isn't modest either.
Acrylic on canvas, 50 × 50 × 3.5 cm. Ready to hang, signed on the reverse.
The boulevards he carved through Paris still exist. The parks, the symmetry, the light down long avenues — all him. This piece is part of The Famous French Collection, a series of portraits of people whose ideas outlasted everything else about them.
Own a piece of the man who built the city everyone wants to live in.
