Own a piece of Parisian art history with this original mid-century oil on canvas by listed artist Wolfgang Junghanns. This atmospheric depiction of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica showcases Junghanns' masterful palette knife technique, creating a heavy, textured impasto that brings the Montmartre skyline to life.
What makes this piece truly exceptional is its provenance. The reverse features the artist’s signature and his historic studio address: 11, Place Émile-Goudeau—the site of Le Bateau-Lavoir, the legendary birthplace of modern art where Picasso and Modigliani once painted. Housed in its original vintage gold-toned stepped frame, this expressionist work is a quintessential example of the Mid-Century School of Paris. A rare find for collectors of vintage European art.
Item condition: The oil painting surface is in excellent condition with no cracking or paint loss. The original vintage wooden frame is in fair to good condition, showing noticeable wear including chipping of the gold finish and surface scuffs consistent with age.
