This poster by illustrator Lotza highlights the Sacré-Cœur de Paris, one of the French capital's most iconic monuments. Perched atop Montmartre Hill, this white basilica is a powerful symbol of the city of love, light, and spirituality.
Its construction began in 1875, in a historical context marked by the Franco-Prussian War, as an act of gratitude and redemption for the nation. The architect Paul Abadie imagined a unique blend of Romano-Byzantine and Gothic styles, giving the basilica its singular charm. It took more than forty years to complete this remarkable building, which was consecrated in 1919.
The Sacré-Coeur is both an important place of pilgrimage for the faithful and a major attraction for visitors from around the world. Its vast mosaics, covering over 450 square meters, tell a rich artistic story. From the top of its dome, the basilica offers an exceptional panoramic view of Paris, inviting contemplation.
Paris, a cultural and historical capital, is a city with a thousand-year history. Founded in the 3rd century BC, it has become a global leader in the fields of art, fashion, gastronomy, and culture. The city is home to famous institutions such as the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, and the Centre Pompidou, as well as iconic monuments like the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and Notre-Dame de Paris, which contribute to its universal renown.
This poster by Lotza is an artistic and poetic celebration of the Parisian soul, perfect for enhancing your interior with a touch of history, spirituality and French charm.
