The Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois Church [1] is a painting by the French painter Claude Monet from 1867 . The picture, painted in oil on canvas, has a height of 79 cm and a width of 98 cm. It belongs to the collection of the National Gallery in Berlin . You can see an everyday urban scene in Paris with a view from the Palais du Louvre to the church of St-Germain-l'Auxerrois . While the architecture is reproduced in full detail, Monet depicts the people in this picture as shadowy silhouettes. His painting style already shows elements of the emerging impressionism. In the same year Monet painted two more cityscapes, which also show the area around the Louvre.
