The artwork titled “Church of Sacre-Coeur” was created by the artist Maurice Utrillo. It belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and falls under the genre of cityscape.
The artwork presents a quaint, narrow street leading up to the grand Church of Sacre-Coeur, a notable architectural and historical landmark. Flanked by closely built houses with rustic shutters and facades, the street exudes a sense of timelessness and charm. The soft, muted colors and meticulous brushwork evoke an air of stillness, while the small figures of pedestrians lend life and perspective to the scene. The distant dome of the Sacre-Coeur emerges against a tranquil sky, serving as the focal point and drawing the viewer’s gaze through the thoroughfare. The overall composition harmonizes the urban elements with the serene spirituality of the church, capturing the essence of a typical day in this picturesque locale.
