Notre-Dame in gray

"Notre-Dame in Gray" is a captivating painting that depicts a moody cityscape of Paris, highlighting the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral amidst a subdued, monochromatic palette. Created using paper and employing techniques reminiscent of lithography, the artwork evokes a sense of immediacy and simplicity characteristic of Naïve art (primitivism). Its raw, unrefined style transports viewers to Montparnasse, an area since 1669 in the south of Paris, capturing the city’s timeless charm with a fresh, almost childlike honesty.
