Paintings of Paris : Notre-Dame

Notre-Dame is one of the most remarkable gothics cathedrals. Laboriously built during two hundred years from 1163 until 1345, it has majestically sat for seven centuries on the « Ile de la Cité ». Under the reign of Louis XIV, the cathedral was considered no longer attractive and the french population wanted to destroy it. During the French Revolution, Notre-Dame was ransacked and relegated as a warehouse. In the 19 century, the French hestitated to finance its restoration. In the end Notre-Dame has to thank Victor Hugo, the romantic and anticlerical poet and for his engagement and clear-sightedness which led to renewals and consequently, Notre-Dame’s salvation.

Paintings of Paris : Montmartre – Sacré-Coeur Basilica

From the early 19th century, perched on top of a hill, Montmartre was the up and coming trendy area. All of Paris was attracted by its picturesque setting, windmills and Saturday night dances. The famous Moulin de la Galette has been turning heads and legs of many generations of Paris. The Romano-Byzantine basilica which was set on top of the hill in 1914 marks the beginning of the slow decline of the nightlife of Montmartre. Fortunately before leaving for Montparnasse, Renoir, Van Gogh, Utrillo, Picasso and many others recorded the most beautiful images of this gone period.
