ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Rue du gros-horloge, Rouen is a 1824 ink by Richard Parkes Bonington, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a bustling street scene in Rouen, with people walking in all directions. The buildings on either side of the street are tall and ornate, with intricate carvings and balconies. In the background, a large dome rises above the rooftops. The artist has used a range of colors to bring the scene to life, from the warm tones of the buildings to the cool blues of the sky. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the viewer is right there in the midst of the action.
