Description
The "Gardens of Paris" poster has the same proportions as a modern map but is illustrated, as were the antique maps, in the same way that the "portulans" of the sixteen century were.
With precisely depicted wild and domestic fauna of the time: (i.e. the grey kestrel falcon nesting in landmark buildings, the tawny owl perched in the tree of the park, the crayfish streaming in brooks and canals), here and there emerge the Pagoda of the Bagatelle gardens, The little Guignol Theater Rond-Point des Champs Élysées, the Geode among many others etc…
It took over 600 hours for the artist Guillaume Le Baube and many scouting sketches to achieve this large gouache and watercolor piece.
Size: 63 cm x 44 cm
