Sacre Coeur Cathedral Montmartre Paris France Watercolor Painting
I love painting France and especially Paris . It is safe to say that by now I've painted Eiffel Tower probably two hundred times.
This time I've decided to travel to Montmartre, Paris, to the hill with its gorgeous Sacre Coeur Cathedral. This historical famous building always fascinated me by its pure white that hovers above Paris in its monumental beauty.
History:
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, Sacré-Cœur is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica in Paris. It is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Sacre Coeur is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. It is a popular landmark, and the second-most visited monument in Paris. This gorgeous Basilica has maintained a perpetual adoration of the Holy Eucharist since 1885. Sacre Coeur was designed by Paul Abadie. Construction began in 1875 and was completed in 1914. The basilica was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919. It is considered as both a political and cultural monument, representing a national penance for the defeat of France in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War and for the actions of the socialist Paris Commune of 1871.
Around The World Travel Gallery became very popular in the last year, I've sold many artworks with famous places and I am glad that my followers and art appreciators are adding my art to their home collections.
