Le pont de pierre est un pont à voûtes en maçonnerie franchissant la Garonne à Bordeaux. Il permet de relier le centre-ville au quartier de La Bastide, sur la rive droite.

Le pont de pierre, construit sur ordre de Napoléon Ier entre 1810 et 1822, a été conçu par les ingénieurs Claude Deschamps et Jean-Baptiste Basilide Billaudel. 4 000 ouvriers y travaillèrent. D'une longueur de 487 mètres, l'ouvrage présente 17 arches construites sur 16 piles. Le pont, d'une largeur initiale de 14,6 mètres, est passé à une largeur de 19 mètres en 1954. Il est construit en pierre et en brique, avec la particularité de comporter des espaces vides intérieurs.

Le financement de l'ouvrage, à hauteur de 6,5 millions de francs fut mixte : le négociant bordelais Pierre Balguerie-Stuttenberg créa, en 1818, la Compagnie du pont de Bordeaux pour lever les financements privés nécessaires à l'achèvement des travaux, pour un montant de 2 millions de francs. En contrepartie la Compagnie du pont bénéficiera d'un droit de péage. Celui-ci sera racheté par la ville de Bordeaux en 1863, ce qui permet le rattachement de La Bastide à Bordeaux au 1er janvier 1865.

Le pont de pierre est inscrit monument historique depuis le 17 décembre 20021.

Jean-Yves Saint Lezer, a contemporary French artist, embarked on his artistic journey from a tender age, initially expressing his creativity through pencil drawings. The spark ignited during his school days, where he vividly recalls sketching a sailboat (a corvette) that adorned the cover of his notebooks. His artistic endeavors expanded as he repeatedly drew and diversified into landscapes, still lifes, and various subjects.

Life took its course, and Jean-Yves Saint Lezer pursued a career until retirement, putting his artistic passion on hold. With the luxury of time in retirement, he rekindled his love for painting, primarily focusing on landscapes and still lifes. His creations are characterized by a unique and pure artistic vision, reflecting his personal interpretations.

In his artistic practice, Jean-Yves draws inspiration from renowned painters like Bill Alexander and Bob Ross, both known for their mastery of the wet-on-wet technique. While adhering to this technique, Jean-Yves goes beyond, combining multiple artistic approaches to diversify his style. His paintings stand as a testament to the harmonious fusion of influences, resulting in a body of work that is uniquely his own.

As Jean-Yves Saint Lezer continues to explore and experiment with various techniques, his art resonates with a genuine passion for creation. Retired but invigorated by the opportunity to pursue his artistic calling, he brings a fresh perspective to the canvas, creating pieces that reflect not only his skill but also the joy derived from the process of artistic expression.
