Place Saint-Michel by Maurice Fallies

Maurice Fallies captures the essence of Place Saint-Michel in this magic watercolor, with the iconic Fountain of Saint-Michel at its center. The fountain, a tribute to Archangel Michael's triumph over evil, stands proud with its columns bathed in sunlight, showing a very pale pink hue. Surrounding the fountain are lush green trees and the bustling boulevard.

You're on the Left Bank of Paris, near the famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore and the Seine River. What makes Fallies' work so gifted and enduring are the multiple tones of color on the street and the stunning Haussmannian buildings on the left. The bustling day is brought to life with cars moving up Boulevard Saint-Michel, and a small red highlight in the middle car adds a touch of charm. The awnings on the building to the left are a very pale peach, completing this vibrant scene.

We have carefully double matted it in pale white – it only needs to slip into a frame. Carefully double matted with a generous border which shows off the painting to their fullest.
