Vincent Van Gogh, Montmartre

Vincent Van Gogh, Montmartre

Vincent van Gogh's remarkable piece, "Montmartre," was created while he lived in Paris from 1886 to 1888. He painted the vibrant and bustling neighborhood with the aim of capturing its liveliness and unique atmosphere.
This work showcases Van Gogh's use of the Pointillism technique- a style involving painting in tiny dots or strokes of pure color. The colors palette employed includes striking hues depicting brilliant lightness during daytime hours at Montmartre, primarily yellows and blues.
The type of paint used by Vincent for this masterpiece is oil on canvas. Through his masterful brushwork using thick layers - a feature typical for post-impressionist works - Vincent has captured not only what it looks like but also how it feels to wander through these busy streets.
"Montmartre" provides meaningful insight into Parisian life during that era as viewed through Van Gogh’s mind. It offers an intriguing look at his mental state; one filled with fascination yet loneliness due to his feeling isolated among the crowd. This painting vividly encapsulates such contrasts within everyday urban existence along with providing glimpses into artistic bohemian culture present then around Place du Tertre square where many famous artists had studios.
