Maker & History
Views of Paris and Notre-Dame formed a major strand of 20th-century French street and souvenir painting, especially in the decades after the Second World War. Artists repeatedly returned to the cathedral, bridges and quays as instantly recognisable subjects, producing atmospheric works intended for both local interiors and visitors to the city.

Why we love it

Sourced by Catherine

I was drawn to the connection with Paris, a city I’ve always loved. The loose, almost Impressionist atmosphere gives the scene a softness and nostalgia that makes it feel especially evocative.
