The artwork, titled “Square Tertre on Montmartre,” is an oil painting on canvas created by the artist Maurice Utrillo. This piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and measures 50.2 x 73 cm. It is a cityscape painting that is currently housed at the Tate Modern in London, UK.
In “Square Tertre on Montmartre,” Utrillo captures a tranquil urban scene in the famous Montmartre district of Paris. The painting is characterized by its muted color palette, with shades of gray, white, and earthy tones dominating the composition. The buildings are depicted with a sense of austere, yet careful, architectural detail, featuring shuttered windows and subtle textures. The few barren trees within the scene add to the quiet, almost somber atmosphere. The overall effect evokes the timeless and serene charm of this picturesque Parisian neighborhood.
