{"product_id":"eglise-saint-gervais-maximilien-luce","title":"Eglise Saint-Gervais - Maximilien Luce","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1917 oil painting by Maximilien Luce depicting the Eglise Saint-Gervais in Paris, rendered with expressive brushwork and a muted, atmospheric palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximilien Luce, a central figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement, captures the architectural character of Paris in this depiction of the Eglise Saint-Gervais. Painted in 1917, the work reflects the artist's mature style, which moved away from the strict pointillist technique of his earlier years towards a more fluid, expressive application of paint. The composition is structured around the prominent silhouette of the church, which rises above the surrounding urban fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuce employs a palette of muted earth tones, soft greys, and greens to convey the atmosphere of the city. The foreground is dominated by the textured surface of the riverbank and the foliage of nearby trees, which frame the view of the church. The brushwork is visible and rhythmic, suggesting the movement of light across the stone facades and the water. Unlike his earlier, more scientific approach to colour, this work demonstrates a focus on the immediate sensory experience of the urban environment. The church, with its gothic elements, provides a sense of historical continuity against the backdrop of a changing Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece offers a view of the city that is both observational and personal. Luce avoids the idealised depictions common in academic art, choosing instead to focus on the quiet, everyday reality of the Parisian streets. The interplay between the organic forms of the trees and the rigid geometry of the architecture creates a balanced visual rhythm. This print captures the subtle tonal variations of the original oil painting, preserving the texture and the specific light quality that Luce achieved during this period of his career. It is a representative example of his later work, where his interest in social realism and urban life remained a constant theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/geneva-1919-paul-signac\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGeneva, 1919 - Paul Signac — Paul Signac\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/sunset-on-the-lagoon-venice-henri-edmond-cross\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSunset on the Lagoon, Venice - Henri-Edmond Cross — Henri-Edmond Cross\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Maximilien Luce","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58890755572047,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58890765467983,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58890765500751,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58890765533519,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58890765566287,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58890765599055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58890765631823,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58890765664591,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58890765697359,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58890765730127,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58890765762895,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58890765795663,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Eglise-Saint-Gervais_Poster_CompositorV1_1790412883361.jpg?v=1790413350","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/eglise-saint-gervais-maximilien-luce","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
