Le Pont Royal 1909

"Le Pont Royal" is an oil painting created by Edward Hopper in 1909, during a period when the artist was living and working in Paris. The painting depicts a view of the Pont Royal bridge and the Seine River, with the Louvre Palace in the background. Hopper’s style was known for its stark realism, and his work often focused on the loneliness and alienation of modern life. "Le Pont Royal" is an example of this style, with its focus on the emptiness of the cityscape. It is currently housed in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
