More about this artwork

Discover the transformative intersection of history and culture in Frédéric Houbron's captivating 1899 painting, "La rue du Chevalier-de-la-Barre, avec le Sacré-Cœur en construction." This exceptional work of art not only captures a unique moment in Parisian history but also invites viewers into the daily life of Paris at the close of the 19th century.The painting presents a bustling street scene on Rue du Chevalier-de-la-Barre. The viewer's eye is drawn along the cobbled street lined with quaint shops and lively Parisians going about their day. In the background, the majestic form of Sacré-Cœur Basilica emerges, swathed in an elaborate framework of scaffolding, signifying its ongoing construction which began in 1875 and concluded in 1914.Houbron masterfully balances the scene, juxtaposing the intimate, small-scale activity of the foreground against the grand, historical narrative unfolding in the background. His use of watercolor enhances the atmospheric quality of the scene, with soft washes of color reflecting the light and mood of a Paris day, suggesting both the transience of everyday life and the enduring nature of monumental architecture.
