This painting shows a big stone church with two tall towers. The front has three big arched doors and a round clock above the middle one. People in old-fashioned clothes walk around—some stand still, others chat. The buildings on the sides are plain, with small windows. The sky looks soft and cloudy. The artist painted this in 1836. The church is Notre Dame in Paris, but the people and clothes look like a quiet day in the past. Look up Romanticism next to see how artists used emotion in their work.
