EDITORS COMMENTS
Maximilien Luce's painting "Les terrils de Sacré-Madame" (1897) captures the industrial landscape of the coal mines in the western suburbs of Charleroi, Belgium. The painting portrays a scene along the canal, where barges laden with coal are being transported from the colliery to the nearby river for further distribution. The slag heaps, or terrils, of Sacré-Madame loom in the background, a testament to the immense scale of coal mining in the region during the 19th century. The painting is a vibrant oil on canvas work, with rich colors and bold brushstrokes that bring the scene to life. The use of color contrasts effectively to highlight the textures of the coal and the water, while the reflections on the water add depth and dimension to the image. The inclusion of the barge and the coal mine in the foreground provides a sense of scale and context, while the distant view of the colliery and the slag heaps emphasizes the vastness of the coal mining industry. This painting is a significant work in the oeuvre of Maximilien Luce, a French painter known for his depictions of modern industrial landscapes and urban scenes. It is now part of the collection of the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris, one of the city's most prestigious museums. The painting offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the coal mining industry and the impact it had on the geography and economy of the region. It is a reminder of the industrial heritage of Charleroi, Hainaut, Belgium, and a testament to the artistic vision of Maximilien Luce.
