Near the sacre coeur, Paris?

italy was my first thought

Think it's there somewhere.

Very much doubt it's London. Not exactly a city often featured in impressionist paintings.

The likelihood is Paris.

One of Caroline Burnett's many paintings of Paris, I reckon.

Google images, Caroline Burnett Paris painting (or similar.)

Perhaps it's a totally made up place using imagery from (a) real location(s)?

Infront of the tree looks like a bridge.

My gran has the same painting or one extremely like it.

The place looks sketchy to me

Looks like it's Paris, the one lowrider posted has Paris in the name too.

Fairly interesting read, looks like it's a mass produced Chinese artist (Burnett your artist is on that page too)

.

Someone spent far too much time analysing them.

Snograt · 15 Jun 2012 at 23:05

Hmm, yeah - it looks a lot like Rogers' work too. It's certainly Montmarte.

check the exif data?

Virdi · 16 Jun 2012 at 22:31

We have the same painting as well. lol

EdGey · 16 Jun 2012 at 22:44

Looks like a scene from 'league of extraordinary gentlemen'.

That massive silver ship is hold up in the river just behind the painter.

Edit: It's Venice, no?

InKursion · 16 Jun 2012 at 23:45

It's Paris, you can tell because of the city architecture - it's long boulevards and the tall townhouses with ornate decorations on the top-floor (mansard roof), and the twin domes in the background are the famous basilica of the sacred heart (sacre-couer in montmartre).

Furthermore montmartre is a famously 'arty' arrondissement of Paris, and the style of the painting is very early Impressionist - which is a style originating in Paris/Netherlands in the mid-19th century.

You're welcome

Looks like Paris, building at the back could be part of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

My first thought too!

Imagine it was Seine crossing and there's a load of MG noobs spraying you down from the fourth floors. looks very much like Paris to me.
