"The Building of the Sacred Heart" (L'Église du Sacré-Cœur et le Marché) is an oil painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1894. This work of art captures a scene of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris during its construction, which began in 1875 and was completed in 1914. Renoir's painting is notable for its historical depiction of the basilica, which has since become one of the most iconic landmarks in Paris.

In "The Building of the Sacred Heart," Renoir employs his characteristic impressionist style, with loose brushwork and a vivid interplay of light and color. The painting conveys the bustling atmosphere of the Montmartre district, where the basilica is located, and reflects the urban changes that were occurring in Paris at the end of the 19th century. The work is part of a series of cityscapes by Renoir that illustrate the transformation of the French capital during the Third Republic.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its historical context. The construction of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica was a national project intended to symbolize the moral renewal of France after the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 and the turmoil of the Paris Commune. Renoir's depiction of the incomplete basilica, with scaffolding still visible, captures a moment of anticipation and reflects the complex feelings of the time regarding the church and its meaning.

"The Building of the Sacred Heart" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the public's understanding of Renoir's work and the cultural landscape of late 19th-century Paris. The painting is an important example of Renoir's urban scenes and serves as a testament to his ability to capture the essence of a city undergoing rapid modernization while maintaining its historical and cultural significance.
