Charles BLONDIN (1913-1991)

Original Watercolor - Montmartre, Sacré Coeur

[ca. 1940s]. Original watercolor on paper, ca. 1940s. 12-1/2" x 9"; signed in pencil lower right; catalog number in pencil lower left. Taped into gallery mat; mild toning on verso, painted surface clean and unblemished; Near Fine.

Blondin (1913-1991) specialized in generic Paris views, primarily for the post-WW2 American tourist trade. Blondin was both talented and prolific – and, as the catalog number suggests, he replicated some of his scenes many times with minor variations. This, a depiction of the Basilica of Sacré Coeur from street-level, was among his most popular; we've seen similar examples in both watercolor and oil.
