Dépôt de pavés à Montmartre [Paysage à la charrette] 1889

Maximilien Luce's 1889 painting *Dépôt de pavés à Montmartre [Paysage à la charrette]* depicts a landscape of Montmartre, a hill in Paris, with a pile of stones in the foreground and a small house on the hill. The artist captures the bustling activity of the city with a seemingly quiet yet striking scene of a small cart amidst a pile of cobblestones, likely leftover from construction projects. The muted tones and stark composition are characteristic of the Post-Impressionist style, which emphasized realism and the portrayal of everyday life. The painting reflects Luce's interest in the changing urban landscape of Paris.
