Rita Crane Photography: Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, Paris
Nostalgic memories of Paris -- another photo from my archives: the Sacre Coeur shining above Montmartre, during the blue hour!
Montmartre is the highest hill in Paris, and a village atmosphere still pervades these ancient streets. There's a great description of it in Wikipedia if you like history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montmartre.
It was incorporated into the city of Paris in the late 1800's and became legendary because of the modern artists who lived here, for example Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Brissaud, Alfred Jarry, Gen Paul, Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Suzanne Valadon, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Maurice Utrillo, Toulouse-Lautrec, Théophile Steinlen. Those artists gave shape and color to our world in a way that had never been seen before, and I salute them!
