The Pont Neuf, 1849?50, Oil on canvas, 21 1/2 x 32 1/8 in. (54. 6 x 81. 6 cm), Paintings, Johan Barthold Jongkind (Dutch, Latrop 1819?1891 La-Cote-Saint-Andre), This view is based on drawings that Jongkind made along the Seine in 1849, the year he began to paint scenes of Paris. He took liberties with the prospect by reducing the number of the bridge?s arches from five to four, eliminating the Place Dauphine, and making Notre-Dame Cathedral appear closer than it is from this vantage point on the river?s left bank
