The artwork, titled “Landscape,” created by Maurice Utrillo, is a notable representation in the Post-Impressionism movement. Measuring 59.7 x 81 cm, this cityscape encapsulates the genre’s distinct characteristic of urban scenery.
This painting illustrates a tranquil street, bordered by quaint white buildings to the left and a high, rustic wall to the right, leading into the distance. The subdued color palette of muted whites, greens, and browns evokes a sense of calm and serenity. The distant structures and lush foliage in the background draw the viewer’s eye through the scene, inviting contemplation of the quiet urban environment depicted. Rendered with the characteristic brushwork and atmospheric depth of Post-Impressionism, Utrillo’s work exudes an almost nostalgic quality, capturing a moment of stillness within the busyness of city life.
