View of Paris from Vincent's Room in the Rue Lepic Vincent van Gogh Date: 1887; Paris, France * Style: Post-Impressionism Genre: cityscape Media: oil, canvas Location: Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Van Gogh lived with his brother in Montmartre. Located above the city of Paris, the apartment afforded him a beautiful view of the city skyline, which he painted several times.[14] Two of the paintings were made in 1887. The second painting View from Vincent's window[15] was made from a similar vantage point to the titled painting View of Paris from Vincent's Room in the Rue Lepic of this article.[16]
In View of Paris (F341) van Gogh demonstrates several Neo-impressionist techniques. To bring an intensity to his work, he uses complementary colors of red and green. He adapted the stippling technique, using tiny dots in areas where needed for detail and brush strokes for the background.
