Imagine walking down a Parisian street named after a Dutch painter. That’s Rue Jongkind for you. It’s a small street, just 170 meters long, but it’s a reminder of a man who loved to capture the beauty of the Seine. In the 19th century, Johan Barthold Jongkind, a Dutch painter who loved to capture the beauty of Paris and the Seine River, was quite famous. He was known for his vibrant watercolors and dramatic scenes, and he was a forerunner of the Impressionist movement. But sadly, his life was a rollercoaster of depression and alcoholism. His name is given to a street in the 15th arrondissement – Rue Jongkind. It starts at 205, Rue Saint-Charles and ends at Rue Varet. It’s a quiet street now, but the spirit of Jongkind lives on in its name. Every time you walk down Rue Jongkind, remember the artist who brought life to the streets of Paris.
