1864
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Henry IV College is a 1864 by Charles Meryon, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a sprawling cityscape, with a large building complex at its center. The scene is rendered in a range of grays, with darker tones used to create depth and texture. The city is teeming with life, as people go about their daily activities amidst the buildings and streets. The artist's use of light and shadow adds a sense of drama and energy to the scene. The painting's focus on everyday life and its use of realistic techniques make it a great example of the Impressionism and Realism movements. For more on the artist behind this work, look up Charles Meryon (French, 1821–1868).
Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
