About the Artwork

Capture the charm of late 19th-century Nice with this exquisite reproduction of a photograph depicting Rue de Lacroix in the historic quarter of Vieux Nice. Rendered in warm sepia tones, the image draws the viewer into the narrow, tapering alleyway that ascends through layers of history. Lined with shuttered façades and textured walls, the scene reveals the architectural rhythms of the old city, where everyday life unfolds in shadow and light. Figures appear mid-movement, adding a ghostlike vitality to the street. The curved path, stone-paved incline, and scattered street objects speak to the material culture of the era. This piece is both documentary and poetic—a tribute to the layered, lived-in beauty of old Nice.
