Charles Levier, Les Escaliers, Oil On Canvas, Paris Montmartre
CHARLES LEVIER (1920–2003)
Les escaliers
This oil on canvas, signed lower left by Charles Levier, depicts a quintessential view of Montmartre, with the dome of the Sacré-Cœur rising prominently in the background. The strong perspective draws the eye along a narrow, lively street that ascends by a flight of steps toward the iconic basilica. Pale-toned façades structure the composition, while a café with a red storefront adds warmth and vitality to the scene.
The elongated, stylized figures—so characteristic of the artist—bring rhythm and modernity to this Parisian setting bathed in soft light. A subtle palette and expressive brushwork convey with sensitivity the charming, animated atmosphere of the Butte Montmartre.
Oil on canvas, titled and signed on the reverse.
