In the heart of Paris, surrounded by its elegant charm and vibrant history, a man was born on July 17, 1813, who would capture the face of this city in eternal memory. Charles François Bossu, better known by his pseudonym Charles Marville, was not only an artist but also a chronicler of his time. Through his lens, he captured the beauty of the old Parisian neighborhoods before they were irretrievably altered by Baron Haussmann's ambitious modernization plans, known as "Haussmannization." His art, whether reproduced in the form of art prints or in original form, is a window into a bygone era when the architecture, landscapes and urban environment of Paris were still in their original form.
Marville's life was long a mystery until a discovery revealed his true identity. With this knowledge, a new chapter began in our understanding of this remarkable artist. Born in Paris, Bossu was a member of an established Parisian family and had trained as a painter, illustrator and engraver. He adopted the pseudonym Charles Marville and began working in his field in 1832. After 17 years as an illustrator, he turned to photography around 1850. While he had no family of his own, he left a longtime companion in his will. His life ended in 1879 in the city he had so lovingly captured through his camera.
As the official photographer of Paris since 1862, Marville captured the city in its many facets. His work included both paper and glass negatives, a technique that allowed him to capture the details and textures of Paris with amazing clarity and sharpness. Our fine art prints, which reproduce his photographs, impressively demonstrate this ability. They offer a loving tribute to Marville's unparalleled talent and his ability to transform the haunting beauty of cityscapes into powerful visual representations. With each art print, we keep his memory alive and celebrate his unparalleled contribution to the art world. Charles Marville remains unforgotten through his artwork and lives on in the spaces he once captured with his camera.
