The Rue de Norvins, Montmartre is a 1890 oil by Stanislas Lépine, a Impressionism work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting shows a narrow street with buildings on either side. The street is paved and has a slight incline. There are people walking on the street, and a horse-drawn carriage is visible in the distance. The buildings are made of stone and have multiple stories. The sky above is cloudy, and the overall atmosphere is one of a quiet, everyday scene. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the scene, from the warm tones of the buildings to the cool tones of the sky. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a sense of texture and depth. The painting is a great example of the work of Stanislas Lépine, a French artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes. To learn more about his technique and style, look up chiaroscuro.
Stanislas Victor Edouard Lépine (October 3, 1835 – September 28, 1892) was a French painter who specialized in landscapes, especially views of the Seine.
