View of Montmartre 1912

"View of Montmartre" by Maurice Asselin depicts the iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris, a landmark that dominates the Montmartre district. The painting, created in 1912, showcases Asselin's distinctive style of capturing urban landscapes with a focus on architectural details. The composition reveals a perspective from a narrow street, showcasing the basilica's majestic dome towering above the surrounding buildings. The artist's use of simplified forms and bold brushstrokes contributes to the overall sense of grandeur and presence of the sacred monument within the Parisian cityscape. This work is part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection in Denmark.
