Artist

P. Simonau

P. Simonau is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

P. Simonau made early-19th-century prints you can still hold in your hands. One dated 1825 shows a street scene near a Paris bridge, lines crisp enough to count the boatmen’s oars. Another untitled sheet from the same years crowds a café table with hats and pipes, letting shadows do the talking.

These prints sit in the quiet middle of printmaking, neither flashy nor forgotten. Tap the 1825 street scene to step into the cobblestone light of post-Napoleonic Paris.
