The artwork entitled “Square Tertre on Montmartre,” created by the distinguished artist Maurice Utrillo, is an oil painting on panel. This piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and measures 53.3 by 72.4 centimeters. It portrays a cityscape and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a quiet urban scene in the famed Montmartre district. Delicate yet expressive brushstrokes illustrate the pale facades of the buildings, their wooden shutters, and the barren trees lining the square, evoking a sense of tranquility and timelessness. The composition, though seemingly simple, captures the essence of urban life with an emphasis on structure and mood typical of the Post-Impressionism movement. This visual representation of a moment in Montmartre reflects Utrillo’s unique ability to transform everyday city life into enduring art.
