Sacre Coeur 2 — Fine Art

White buildings sit on a hill above a wide street in Sacre Coeur 2. The roofs and walls lean into the sky, and the paint stays thin in places so the ground shows through.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. Maurice Utrillo made streets and churches in Paris and around the city, often with a pale ground and quick marks. The white frame puts a clean edge around the picture and keeps the pale tones from drifting off the sheet.

The finish is plain enough that the buildings stay in front. Lean the frame on a wooden ledge in a hallway where the light comes from one side, and the white roofs read first before the street below.
