The artwork titled “Church of St. Severin” is a cityscape created by Maurice Utrillo and belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. This piece captures an urban scene and reflects the distinctive style of Utrillo, known for his portrayals of Parisian streets and buildings.
The artwork presents a tranquil city street with the Church of St. Severin prominently in the background. The structure’s bell tower extends towards a serene, cloudless sky, its intricate architectural details meticulously rendered. On the left side of the composition, there is a large building with a façade featuring multiple windows and wrought-iron balconies. At street level, a restaurant with a green awning and sign is visible, adding a touch of everyday life to the serene depiction. The muted color palette consisting of whites, grays, and blues brings a sense of calm and timelessness to the urban environment. Utrillo’s distinctive brushwork and attention to architectural details are evident, creating a compelling and intimate portrait of the urban landscape. A few figures are seen strolling along the street, further adding a sense of scale and liveliness to the otherwise quiet scene.
