"Tourelle, Rue De La Tixeranderie" is a notable etching by the French artist Charles Meryon, created in 1868. Meryon, who is often celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of Paris, produced this work as part of his broader series capturing the architectural and atmospheric essence of the city. The etching portrays a narrow, medieval street in Paris, Rue de la Tixeranderie, which was known for its historical significance and picturesque, yet decaying, buildings.

Meryon's work is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the mood and character of Paris during the mid-19th century. "Tourelle, Rue De La Tixeranderie" exemplifies his skill in rendering architectural forms with precision while also imbuing the scene with a sense of nostalgia and melancholy. The etching features a prominent turret (or tourelle) that juts out from one of the buildings, a characteristic element of the street's medieval architecture. This architectural detail not only serves as the focal point of the composition but also highlights Meryon's fascination with the historical layers of the city.

The etching is part of Meryon's larger body of work that documents the transformation of Paris during a period of significant urban renewal under Baron Haussmann. Meryon's etchings are often seen as a counter-narrative to the modernization efforts, capturing the disappearing old Paris that was being replaced by wide boulevards and new constructions. His work has been praised for its technical mastery and its ability to evoke a deep sense of place and history.

"Tourelle, Rue De La Tixeranderie" is held in high regard not only for its artistic quality but also for its historical value, providing insight into the urban landscape of Paris before the extensive changes of the late 19th century. Meryon's etchings, including this one, continue to be studied and admired for their contribution to the field of printmaking and their poignant documentation of a bygone era.
