UNDER THE SKY OF PARIS - Lot 275
UNDER THE SKY OF PARIS Traffic and gridlock… During the filming of Julien Duvivier’s movie, 1951. Photograph, vintage silver print, annotated on the back. 17.8 x 23.5 cm, including white border. A thumbtack hole at each corner. Note: This photograph, taken in 1951 during the filming of Julien Duvivier’s *Sous le ciel de Paris*, captures the intense activity on the streets of the capital in the early 1950s. Depicting a scene of heavy traffic and gridlock, it illustrates both the demands of the film shoot and the profound transformations in urban mobility in postwar Paris. Released in 1951, *Sous le ciel de Paris* is one of the iconic films by Julien Duvivier, a major figure in French cinema, who paints a vivid and poetic portrait of the capital through a series of scenes inspired by the daily lives of its residents. Beyond its cinematic value, this image serves as a valuable documentary record of the urban landscape, vehicles, and street life in mid-20th-century Paris. This vintage print thus offers a unique intersection of the history of cinema and that of Parisian life during a period of profound modernization.
