The artwork titled “Church Sacre-Coeur,” created by Maurice Utrillo, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and is classified under the genre of cityscape.
In the artwork, Maurice Utrillo masterfully depicts the Sacre-Coeur Basilica in Paris, a prominent historical and religious landmark. The scene presents a view of the basilica from a vantage point behind a balcony with green railings, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The basilica itself, painted in muted tones, towers above a cluster of urban structures, symbolizing its majestic presence amidst the city’s bustling neighborhood. French flags flutter in the breeze, adding a touch of color and national pride to the composition. The artistic technique employed by Utrillo, characterized by distinctively textured brush strokes and a somewhat somber palette, reflects the architectural details and the solemn yet grand atmosphere of the Church Sacre-Coeur.
