Antoine Blanchard (1910–1988) painted Paris the way it lives in the imagination — rain-slicked boulevards glowing with lamplight, the bustle of the Champs-Élysées, flower markets spilling colour onto cobblestones, and the great monuments of the city standing golden in the soft evening light. The French artist spent his career lovingly documenting the street life and architecture of Paris in an Impressionist style so warm and evocative that his canvases feel less like artworks and more like memories of a city you've visited in a dream. In counted cross stitch, that romantic Parisian atmosphere translates into designs that are as beautiful to stitch as they are to display.
