Impressionist Oil Painting of Notre-Dame Cathedral - Paris - 1900

A refined late 19th to early 20th century oil painting on board, depicting the iconic silhouette of Notre-Dame de Paris rising beyond the Seine. Rendered in soft impressionistic strokes, the artist captures the interplay of morning light upon the cathedral’s twin towers, while the riverbank and arched bridge in the foreground provide depth and atmosphere. The muted yet luminous palette evokes the quiet poetry of turn-of-the-century Paris, a period when plein air studies of the city were highly sought after by both French and international collectors.

The work is housed in its original giltwood frame, lending further period authenticity and elegance. Its intimate scale makes it a compelling accent for both traditional and modern interiors.
