Early 20th-Century Architectural Print — Hôtel de Ville de Paris
A striking architectural print of the Hôtel de Ville de Paris, rendered with dramatic contrast and architectural precision. This piece captures the grandeur of Paris’s famed City Hall — a masterpiece of Neo-Renaissance design rebuilt in the late 19th century after the original structure was destroyed during the Commune of 1871. The composition showcases the ornate façade, rhythmic windows, and elaborate mansard rooflines that epitomize French civic architecture at its most opulent. The artist’s treatment of light and shadow emphasizes both the monumentality and the romantic allure of the Paris skyline. Set within its original giltwood frame and cream matting, the piece exudes timeless European sophistication — a perfect addition to any collector’s gallery wall or architectural-inspired interior.
