Georges Charles Robin (1903–2003) – Notre-dame De Paris In The Snow – Oil On Canvas

A beautiful painting by Georges Charles Robin depicting Notre-Dame de Paris under the snow, as seen from the banks of the Seine. The cathedral dominates the winter scene, accompanied by boats and views of the Parisian quays.

A particularly interesting depiction of the Parisian landscape and Notre-Dame as it appeared before the tragic fire of April 15, 2019.

Here, the artist captures a gentle winter atmosphere, using a delicate color palette and a painterly style characteristic of his landscapes.

About the artist:
