Vintage Paris Eiffel Map

Simon Goggin

Art Analysis

A cartographic study of the iron heart of Paris

In this piece, Goggin focuses on the architectural icon of the Champ de Mars, positioning the Eiffel Tower as the central anchor within a detailed map of Paris. The work utilizes a vintage aesthetic to evoke the history of the city, where the dense grid of boulevards and the winding path of the Seine create a complex backdrop for the iron lattice of the monument. The vertical format emphasizes the height of the tower, drawing the eye upward through the layered information of the city's districts.

By treating the map as a visual texture rather than just a navigational tool, the artist highlights the organic growth of Paris over centuries. The muted tones and delicate linework suggest a weathered document, inviting the viewer to trace the intersections and landmarks that define the character of the city. It is a study of how a single landmark defines its surrounding environment, rendered with a focus on structural clarity and historical charm.
