Pont Alexandre III, the elegant Beaux-Arts bridge spanning the Seine in Paris, was built to symbolize Franco-Russian friendship at the 1900 World’s Fair, celebrating unity and architectural grandeur. Its ornate design, with gilded sculptures and cherubic details, has made it an icon of Parisian romance, a favorite backdrop in countless films where lovers meet beneath its lamplight or stroll hand-in-hand across its arches. I painted it to honor its exquisite beauty—a fusion of artistry and history that captivates the soul. Its shimmering reflection on the water and golden details echo a timeless charm, inviting dreamers to linger in its embrace.
