About the piece
Painted around 1912 during his acclaimed 'white period,' this work by Maurice Utrillo showcases the artist's fascination with urban architecture and the tactile qualities of weathered stone. The composition centers on the soaring gothic arches of a ruined abbey, rendered with a thick application of paint that brings a physical presence to the ancient walls, contrasting with the simple buildings on either side.
