Look closely at the Berty Albrecht Graffiti. It is a portrait of a French Resistance fighter. The work is painted in black and white by the artist C215. Berty Albrecht was a nurse, a feminist, and a member of the French Resistance. She was captured in 1943 and tortured until she committed suicide by hanging. This street art is a powerful reminder of her bravery and sacrifice. The artist, C215, decided to use his street art to showcase heroes and heroines of the resistance. He even went so far as to paint the portraits of famous resistance fighters in the streets around the Panthéon. He used his artistic talents to spread awareness of their achievements. This is one of the many pieces of street art around Paris that celebrate the resilience of the French people.
