Church with Red Roof and White Walls

Description

Church with Red Roof and White Walls by Maurice Utrillo brings a quiet village street into focus through pale plaster, a warm red roof and the church tower rising above it. Painted in 1914, the scene contrasts the solid geometry of the buildings with a softly varied sky. The lane draws the eye into the composition, while subtle changes in the white walls give the architecture texture and weight.

Utrillo is especially associated with scenes of streets and buildings, and this work shows his interest in the character of everyday architecture. The restrained colors allow the red roof to stand out without overpowering the scene. This giclée reproduction offers a calm architectural subject for a room where you want both detail and an understated palette.
