Work Overview

View of the Roofs of Paris
1886
Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 


Roofs in Paris (F231) was made by van Gogh in 1886, his first year in Paris. Although acquainted with Impressionism, he had not yet begun to integrate color and light into his work. This painting consists of dull brown and gray. Here van Gogh seemed most interested in the variations of colors found in the many houses within his view.
