Cote Dazur Esplanade French Riviera Parasol Seafront
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France. From "The Picturesque Mediterranean" collection published by Cassell and Co. Ltd. in the 1880s-90s, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of this iconic location. The image showcases a bustling scene along the promenade, with parasols dotting the sandy beach and elegantly dressed promenaders strolling along the esplanade. The couple at the forefront adds a touch of romance to this Victorian-era snapshot. Originally built in the 1820s through funds raised by the English colony, today Promenade des Anglais has transformed into a three-mile-long, eight-lane highway that still retains its charm and allure. It remains one of Nice's most famous landmarks on the French Riviera or Côte d'Azur. Transported back to an era long gone, we can almost feel ourselves walking alongside these fashionable figures as they enjoy leisurely moments by the seafront. This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a historical testament to how landscapes evolve over time while retaining their timeless appeal. Preserved within a private collection until now, this remarkable piece from Ken Welsh's portfolio reminds us of both our fascination with history and our desire for connection with past eras. Its availability through Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty without commercial constraints.
