"Le Pont-au-change" (s.40) is a renowned etching by the French artist Charles Meryon, created in the mid-19th century. Meryon, known for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of Paris, captured the essence of the city through his etchings, and "Le Pont-au-change" is a prime example of his mastery in this medium. The artwork portrays the Pont-au-Change, a historic bridge spanning the Seine River in Paris, connecting the Île de la Cité to the right bank.

Meryon's etching is celebrated for its meticulous detail and dramatic use of light and shadow, which convey a sense of the bustling life and architectural grandeur of Paris during that era. The bridge, with its arches and the buildings lining the riverbanks, is depicted with a precision that highlights Meryon's technical skill and his deep appreciation for the city's urban landscape. The composition of "Le Pont-au-change" draws the viewer's eye along the bridge and into the heart of the city, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.

Charles Meryon (1821-1868) was a pivotal figure in the etching revival of the 19th century. Despite his struggles with mental illness and financial instability, Meryon produced a body of work that has been highly influential in the history of printmaking. His etchings, particularly those of Paris, are noted for their haunting beauty and intricate detail. "Le Pont-au-change" stands out as one of his most significant works, encapsulating his unique vision and technical prowess.

The etching not only serves as a historical document of Parisian architecture but also reflects Meryon's personal connection to the city. His works often evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, capturing the transient nature of urban life. "Le Pont-au-change" is a testament to Meryon's ability to transform a simple cityscape into a profound artistic statement, making it a cherished piece in the canon of 19th-century French art.
