"Notre-Dame in Nice" - Artist's Original | Original Watercolor Cathedral Painting

This is an original hand-painted watercolor of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption, created on-location in the heart of Old Nice, France. Painted during a 2024 backpacking trip, this plein air artwork captures the ornate façade and vertical grandeur of the cathedral in the soft morning light. The gothic revival architecture and rich stone textures are rendered with fine detail and gentle washes, making it a one-of-a-kind collector’s piece and a timeless celebration of European beauty."Notre Dome in Nice"
