Tableau HST "View of the Sacred Heart in Montmartre"

Superb oil on canvas from the mid-20th century, depicting a typical perspective of the cobbled streets of Montmartre, with the iconic silhouette of the Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur in Paris in the background. The work is signed BROUER in red letters at the bottom right, a listed French artist known for his post-war Parisian urban scenes and landscapes. • Remarkable technique: Beautiful execution with knife and brush, offering superb texture work with visible impasto effects, particularly on the dome of the Sacré-Cœur and the façades of the buildings. • Composition: A lovely Parisian atmosphere animated by silhouettes of passers-by, playing on warm shades of ochres and browns contrasting with the whiteness of the basilica. • Support: Original oil on canvas, stretched on its original wooden frame. • Format: Size of the canvas: 22 X 16 cm (Standard French size 2F - Figure). • Framing: Sold in its lovely period frame in gilded wood with a double marie-louise (with a dark green border), which perfectly highlights the work. Total dimensions with the frame: approximately 31 X 26 cm. Condition: Excellent overall condition for its age, the canvas is well-stretched and the colours have remained very fresh. Ready to be hung.
