The Quai Saint-Michel and Notre-Dame is a 1901 oil on canvas painting by the French artist Maximilien Luce. Luce was part of the Neo-Impressionist movement between 1887 and 1897 and used the technique of employing separate dabs of color (divisionism), for the painting, which was one of ten he undertook of Notre-Dame de Paris. The Musée d'Orsay in Paris, which holds the image, notes that this was painted by Luce when he was moving from his Neo-Impressionist period to his later Populist period. The Musée d'Orsay obtained the picture in 1981.
