From the collection of Norton Simon Museum
Place du Tertre à Montmartre is a 1911 oil by Maurice Utrillo, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Norton Simon Museum.
This painting depicts a street scene with buildings, some of which have windows and chimneys. The buildings are painted in various colors, including white, brown, and blue. The scene is set against a light-colored background. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The buildings appear to be old and worn, with some of them having broken windows or missing tiles. The painting is a beautiful representation of a street scene in Montmartre, and it would be interesting to learn more about the artist who created it, Maurice Utrillo.
Maurice Utrillo was a French painter of the School of Paris who specialized in cityscapes. From the Montmartre quarter of Paris, France, Utrillo is one of the few famous painters of Montmartre to have been born there.
