Automne sur l'Ile St-Louis
 | |  |  |  | Published since: January 2, 2012 Last update: January 31, 2012 |
Aquarelle originale - Paris. Ce dernier pont porte le nom de l'entrepreneur Christophe Marie qui a «combattu» pour la réalisation du pont. Après plusieurs années de négociations, la première pierre est posée (en 1614) mais le pont n'a été ouvert à la circulation que 21 ans plus tard (1635), surmonté de 50 maisons.
La très forte crue de 1658 a emporté les deux arches les plus près de l'île et les 22 maisons qui s'y trouvaient.
Les 2 arches ont été reconstruites en 1670 mais pas les maisons. Le pont avait donc une apparence très curieuse : 3 de ses arches supportaient des maisons et pas les 2 autres.
Cette catastrophe de 1658 a d'ailleurs contribué à l'abandon des constructions de maisons sur les ponts. Les maisons existant sur les ponts de Paris ont complétement disparu vers 1788, pour laisser place à des trottoirs. Format : 37 cm X 28 cm. Prix sur demande. Size : 14.6 in X 11 in. Price on request.
