The Seine on Canvas

Bougival 1876

The Seine is captured here by the artist Alfred Sisley, depicting one of the more than three dozen bridges inside the city that cross the river. Some of the most famous include the Pont Louis-Philippe and Pont Neuf, the latter which dates back to 1607. Dozens more span its waters outside of the city. Some examples include the Pont de Normandie, one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world.
