"La Morgue (s.42)" is a notable etching by the French artist Charles Meryon, created in the mid-19th century. Meryon, renowned for his intricate and atmospheric depictions of Paris, produced this work as part of his broader series that captures the essence of the city’s architecture and urban life. The etching portrays the old morgue of Paris, a somber and evocative subject that reflects Meryon's fascination with the darker and more melancholic aspects of the urban landscape.

The Paris Morgue, located on the Île de la Cité, was a public institution where unidentified bodies were displayed in the hopes that they would be recognized by friends or relatives. This macabre practice drew both locals and tourists, making the morgue a curious yet grim landmark in 19th-century Paris. Meryon's depiction of the morgue is both detailed and atmospheric, showcasing his exceptional skill in etching and his ability to convey mood and narrative through architectural subjects.

Meryon's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to evoke a sense of place and history. In "La Morgue (s.42)," he employs a rich interplay of light and shadow to highlight the architectural features of the building and the surrounding urban environment. The etching captures the stark reality of the morgue, juxtaposed against the bustling life of the city, creating a poignant commentary on mortality and the human condition.

Charles Meryon’s etchings, including "La Morgue (s.42)," are celebrated for their technical precision and emotional depth. His works are considered significant contributions to the etching revival in France during the 19th century and continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical value. "La Morgue (s.42)" remains a powerful example of Meryon's ability to transform the everyday and the morbid into compelling works of art that resonate with viewers.
