EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning design for the facade of the Cafe Procope, dating back to the early 19th century. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The Cafe Procope, located on Rue de l'Ancienne-Comedie, holds a rich history as it was founded by Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli, a Sicilian entrepreneur. Over the years, this iconic establishment has attracted renowned literary figures such as George Sand, Alfred de Musset, Anatole France, Joris Karl Huysmans, and Paul Verlaine. The front elevation depicted in this artwork exudes simplicity and elegance. The plain yet inviting door is adorned with a subtle sign that signifies its identity as one of Paris' most famous literary cafes. The architectural elements are meticulously captured in this painting - from the intricate window details to the overall plan of the building. Founded in 1686, Cafe Procope continues to be cherished for its historical significance and cultural ambiance. This print allows us to appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also transports us back to an era where intellectuals gathered within these walls for stimulating conversations over coffee or wine. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intentions but rather seeks to celebrate and preserve art's timeless allure.
