"Le Pont-neuf (s.30)" is an etching created by the French artist Charles Meryon, a prominent figure in the 19th-century etching revival. Meryon, born in 1821, is renowned for his intricate and atmospheric depictions of Paris, capturing the city's architectural grandeur and urban life with a meticulous eye for detail. "Le Pont-neuf" is one of his most celebrated works, exemplifying his mastery in the medium of etching and his deep connection to the city of Paris.

The etching portrays the Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, which has been a significant landmark since its completion in the early 17th century. Meryon's depiction of the bridge is not merely a straightforward representation but an evocative scene that blends historical accuracy with a sense of timelessness. The work is part of a larger series of etchings by Meryon that focus on Parisian landmarks, collectively known as "Eaux-fortes sur Paris" (Etchings of Paris).

Meryon's "Le Pont-neuf" is distinguished by its dramatic use of light and shadow, intricate line work, and the artist's ability to convey the bustling life of the city. The etching captures the bridge in a moment of quiet grandeur, with detailed renderings of the stonework, the surrounding buildings, and the activity on the river. The sky above is often depicted with swirling, almost fantastical clouds, adding a moody and atmospheric quality to the scene.

The work reflects Meryon's unique vision and his ability to infuse architectural subjects with a sense of narrative and emotion. Despite his struggles with mental illness and financial difficulties, Meryon's contributions to the art of etching have been widely recognized and celebrated. "Le Pont-neuf" remains a testament to his skill and his enduring legacy as one of the foremost etchers of his time.
