The Seine as a working river

Works on the Seine at the Pont des Saints-Pères fills the waterway with cranes, platforms and upright structures. The activity introduces a different river subject from a quiet bank or distant view. Other works follow barges, bridges and the places where the water meets the built city.

Rural banks and small touches of colour

The Seine at Herblay arranges trees, paths and a bright stretch of water across bands of green, violet and orange. Closely placed marks keep the surface active while the landscape remains clearly legible. Read the existing comparison of Seine scenes by Luce and Loir for another route through the river subjects.

Paris landmarks and everyday figures

The Quai Saint-Michel and Notre-Dame places the cathedral above people moving along the quay. Other Paris subjects turn to streets, gardens and changing neighbourhoods. Explore architecture and cityscape prints for further urban settings.
