View of Notre-Dame (1914). Oil on canvas, 58 x 37 1/8" (147.3 x 94.3 cm). In the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Acquired through the Lillie P. Bliss Bequest

View of Notre-Dame (French: Une vue de Notre-Dame) is an oil painting by Henri Matisse from 1914.

Experimental period

Along with works such as Woman on a High Stool, it belongs to the "experimental period" of Matisse's oeuvre. Pentimenti reveal that it was originally painted in a more detailed manner before it was radically simplified into a geometric composition.[1]

Exhibition

It was not exhibited until after Matisse's death, but proved a great influence upon later developments in painting.[1]
