About this photograph :
Square du vert galant
Pierre-André Boussac’s work is representative of the poetic realism of humanist photography. The photographer seeks out beauty along the quays of the Seine or in the mythical districts of Paris. The Vert Galant Square is located at the western point of Ile de la Cité in the 1st district. It was named after Henri IV’s nickname ‘le vert galant’ (old charmer) because of his many mistresses in spite of his great age.
