"Rue Des Chantres" is a notable etching created by the French artist Charles Meryon in 1850. Meryon, who is often celebrated for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of Paris, captures the essence of the city’s narrow streets and historic architecture in this work. The etching is part of Meryon’s larger series titled "Eaux-fortes sur Paris" (Etchings of Paris), which he produced between 1850 and 1854. This series is renowned for its intricate detail and evocative portrayal of mid-19th century Paris, reflecting both the grandeur and the decay of the city during that period.

"Rue Des Chantres" specifically depicts a narrow, shadowy street on the Île de la Cité, one of the oldest parts of Paris. The etching is characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural details, such as the cobblestone pavement, the overhanging buildings, and the intricate ironwork. Meryon’s use of light and shadow enhances the depth and texture of the scene, creating a sense of mystery and timelessness. The street, which still exists today, is located near the Notre-Dame Cathedral, adding historical significance to the work.

Meryon’s etchings are often noted for their melancholic and somewhat haunting atmosphere, a reflection of his own troubled life and mental health struggles. "Rue Des Chantres" is no exception, as it conveys a sense of solitude and introspection. The artist’s precise technique and his ability to capture the spirit of Parisian streets have earned him a lasting place in the history of printmaking.

The etching has been widely studied and admired for its artistic and historical value. It is considered a prime example of Meryon’s skill in etching and his unique vision of Paris. Today, "Rue Des Chantres" is held in various museum collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London, where it continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
