More about this artwork
We are delighted to present "Seine (1932)," a captivating pencil sketch by the notable Slovak artist Cyprián Majerník. In this piece, Majerník artfully captures a serene yet dynamic scene along the famous River Seine in Paris.The artwork showcases a picturesque view beneath one of the many iconic bridges crossing the Seine. Majerník's strokes, though swift and loose, expertly convey the solid structure of the bridge against the fluid motion of the river. The curved lines and bold shading not only highlight the architectural beauty of the bridge but also evoke the gentle movements of water beneath.Visitors might notice the sketchy representation of distant figures and trees on the riverbank, imparting a lively urban atmosphere to the scene. The rough textural quality of the pencil work adds depth and a sense of immediacy, as if Majerník sketched this scenic view while sitting by the riverside, immersed in the Parisian environment.This piece is a brilliant example of how minimal lines and shades can transport a viewer to a different time and place, reflecting Majerník's mastery in capturing the essence of his surroundings with simplicity and elegance.
