Framed Photograph – Latin Quarter, Paris 1960s

Atmospheric photo of Paris taken in the early 1960s by renowned French photographer Willy Ronis. Capturing the corner of Boulevard Saint-Michel and Rue Soufflot in the Latin Quarter, this image radiates the nostalgic charm of post-war Paris. Part of the rare Paris album published by Arthaud in 1962, this piece is a testament to Ronis’s evocative style and deep affection for the city.

Willy Ronis (1910–2009) was one of the most prominent French photographers of the 20th century, regarded as a master of humanist photography alongside figures like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. His images captured everyday life in Paris and its people with tenderness, sensitivity, and deep humanity. Ronis was renowned for his ability to freeze fleeting moments—of light, gesture, or glance—that together created a poetic portrait of the city. His book Paris, published in 1962 by Arthaud, is among his most celebrated albums and serves as a visual tribute to the atmosphere of postwar Paris.
