Terrace and Observation Deck at the Moulin de Blute-Fin, Montmartre
Vincent van Gogh, Early 1887
This painting dates to 1887, roughly a year after Van Gogh arrived in Paris to join his brother, the art dealer Theo van Gogh. It is one of a group of landscapes featuring the Butte Montmartre, a short climb from the apartment on the rue Lepic where Vincent and Theo lived. Montmartre was dotted with reminders of its quickly receding rural past—abandoned quarries, kitchen gardens, and three surviving windmills, including the Moulin de Blute-Fin.
