Notre Dame, St. Michael, under the snow 

Édouard Cortes’ "Notre Dame, St. Michael, under the snow" is a captivating depiction of Parisian life under a blanket of snow. The iconic Notre Dame Cathedral looms large in the background, its gothic architecture softened by the falling snow. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the bustling street scene below. The scene is filled with figures, a mix of pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages, suggesting the vibrant energy of the city even in the winter. This painting is a beautiful example of the artist's talent for capturing the charm and everyday life of Paris in the early 20th century.
