This view of the bell tower of the Sacré Coeur Basilica in Montmartre, seen from the Place du Tertre in the axis of the Parioisse Saint Pierre, is a cloudy, gray, contrasting and mysterious atmosphere. This painting, with its lively brushstrokes and contrasting tones highlighted in black, is in the dry, precise style of Bernard Buffet. This style of expression was very much in vogue in the "60s", a marvellous evocation of that period, so inventive in all its expressions, when we tasted the happiness and zest for life of the young people of the Babyboom, a fine symbolism for this impeccable canvas in its carmine velvet frame with gilded borders. A painting that emanates nostalgia for a bygone era. A very pleasing and decorative ensemble with a fine presence.
