EDITORS COMMENTS
Lucien Lievre's captivating oil painting, Place Pigalle (c1932), offers a breathtaking aerial view of the bustling intersection in Paris' 18th arrondissement. The vibrant scene is set against the backdrop of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, its white walls gleaming in the sunlight. The busy boulevards of Boulevard de Clichy and Boulevard de Rochechouart converge at this iconic plaza, creating a mosaic of activity. Automobiles, both old and new, line the streets, their shiny exteriors reflecting the energy of the city. People, both men and women, can be seen going about their daily business, adding to the liveliness of the scene. In the foreground, a man in a hat and coat stands near a car, perhaps waiting for a friend or hailing a taxi. The historic Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur, a symbol of Christianity in Paris, looms in the background, its towering spires reaching towards the heavens. The painting's elevated view allows for a unique perspective of the city, revealing the intricate details of the buildings and the winding roads that lead in every direction. This stunning oil on canvas work, created by Lucien Lievre in the 1930s, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Paris. It captures the essence of city life in the early 20th century, with its blend of modernity and tradition, religion and secularism, and the constant ebb and flow of people and vehicles. The painting is now part of the collection of the Musée de l'Orangerie and Musée de Carnavalet in Paris, two prestigious institutions dedicated to preserving the artistic and historical legacy of France.
