"Le Pont Neuf" is an etching created by the French artist Charles Meryon in 1850. Meryon, known for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of Paris, was a prominent figure in the 19th-century etching revival. His works often capture the architectural grandeur and historical essence of the city, and "Le Pont Neuf" is no exception.

The etching portrays the Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, which connects the Île de la Cité with the rest of the city. Meryon's depiction is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and its evocative atmosphere. The bridge, with its series of arches and the iconic equestrian statue of King Henri IV, is rendered with a precision that highlights Meryon's technical skill and his deep appreciation for Parisian architecture.

"Le Pont Neuf" is part of a larger series of etchings by Meryon that focus on various landmarks and scenes of Paris. This series, often referred to as "Eaux-fortes sur Paris" (Etchings of Paris), is celebrated for its historical and artistic significance. Meryon's work in this series is characterized by a dark, almost gothic sensibility, which contrasts with the more romanticized views of Paris that were common at the time.

Meryon's personal history adds another layer of depth to his work. He struggled with mental health issues throughout his life, and his art is often seen as a reflection of his inner turmoil. The haunting quality of "Le Pont Neuf" can be interpreted as a manifestation of Meryon's complex emotional state, as well as his profound connection to the city of Paris.

Today, "Le Pont Neuf" is regarded as a masterpiece of 19th-century printmaking. It is studied and admired for its technical excellence, its historical value, and its ability to convey the unique atmosphere of Paris during that era. Meryon's work continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and collectors alike, and "Le Pont Neuf" remains a significant piece in the canon of French art.
