"Le Ministère de la Marine, 1865" is an etching by the French artist Charles Méryon (1821–1868), known for his works that often depict the urban landscape of Paris with a particular focus on its architectural heritage. This etching is part of Méryon's famous series "Eaux-fortes sur Paris" (Etchings of Paris), which includes some of his most celebrated works.

The etching portrays the headquarters of the French Naval Ministry, which at the time was located at the Hôtel de la Marine on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Méryon's work is characterized by its meticulous detail and the artist's fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, which is evident in this piece. The etching captures the grandeur and the intricate architectural elements of the building, reflecting Méryon's keen interest in the historical and cultural significance of Parisian landmarks.

Méryon's technique involved a combination of etching with touches of drypoint, which allowed him to achieve a wide range of tonal effects and to render textures with precision. His works are often noted for their psychological depth and a sense of melancholy, as Méryon struggled with mental health issues throughout his life, which are sometimes reflected in his art.

"Le Ministère de la Marine, 1865" is not only an example of Méryon's technical skill as an etcher but also serves as a historical document, preserving the appearance of a significant Parisian structure during the mid-19th century. The etching is appreciated for its artistic merit and is studied for its contribution to the graphic arts during a period when Paris was undergoing rapid transformation and modernization.

Charles Méryon's etchings, including "Le Ministère de la Marine, 1865," are held in high regard by collectors and museums, and they continue to be the subject of scholarly interest for their contribution to the art of etching and their unique perspective on the urban environment of Paris during the artist's lifetime.
