Lucien Delarue, 'Montmartre Street Scene,' Oil on Canvas

Story

Post-war Paris was a magnet for a world eager to rediscover beauty, and Lucien Delarue became one of the most beloved chroniclers of that romantic era.

Maker / Origin

Lucien Delarue was a student of the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and eventually became a member of the Salon des Artistes Français.

Condition & Value

The painting itself appears well-preserved, though the linen liner (the fabric border between the art and the gold frame) shows some visible spotting or foxing. The gilded frame has minor age-related wear, which is expected and often preferred by collectors of this period.
