Portrait of Charles Nègre - Vhils

The engraved artwork depicts Charles Nègre (1820-1880), a painter and pioneer of photography born in the same neighborhood, now watching over the new media library of the same name.
It resonates with the past and present in this resolutely contemporary.

Icon of street art, international artist Vhils defines himself as a «contemporary urban archaeologist,» adorning the walls of major metropolises with his engraved portraits, delighted to give a second life to neglected places.
