EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Jean Charles Adolphe Alphand" painted by Alfred Roll in 1888. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 159x127 cm and is currently housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee du Petit-Palais, France. The portrait depicts a distinguished-looking man named Jean Charles Adolphe Alphand, a renowned French engineer and park designer. With his top hat perched elegantly atop his head and a well-groomed beard framing his face, Alphand exudes an air of authority and sophistication. The three-quarter length composition captures him amidst what appears to be a bustling building site, perhaps symbolizing his significant contributions to urban development. Alphand's notable achievements include designing two of Paris' most beloved green spaces: Bois de Boulogne and Champ-de-Mars. He collaborated closely with Baron Haussmann during the redesign of Paris in the late 19th century, leaving an indelible mark on the city's landscape. This photograph offers viewers a glimpse into history as it immortalizes not only Alphand but also Roll's artistic talent in capturing both physical likeness and character. It serves as a reminder of the immense impact that individuals like Alphand had on shaping our cities for generations to come.
