The Apse of Notre Dame 1901

"The Apse of Notre Dame" by Albert Marquet, painted in 1901, depicts a picturesque view of the iconic Parisian landmark. The painting captures the essence of the city, showcasing the Seine River, the famed cathedral, and the bustling life along the riverbanks. Marquet’s use of bold colors and simplified forms, characteristic of Fauvism, creates a vibrant and expressive scene. This work exemplifies Marquet's signature style of capturing the essence of urban landscapes with a focus on light and color.
