Notre Dame, the Effect of Sunlight 1906

"Notre Dame, the Effect of Sunlight" is an oil on canvas painting created in 1906 by the French artist Francis Picabia. The painting depicts the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, with the facade highlighted by a warm, golden light. The effect of sunlight is captured through the use of impasto, a technique that creates a thick, textured surface with visible brushstrokes. The painting is notable for its Impressionistic style, which emphasizes the fleeting nature of light and its impact on the surrounding environment. The work is currently in a private collection.
