Paris from Theo's Apartment in the Rue Lepic — Vincent van Gogh, 1887

Painted in 1887 from his brother Theo's apartment on Rue Lepic in Montmartre, this Paris cityscape captures Vincent van Gogh's urban vantage point during his short, intense Paris years (1886–1888). The rooftops and Haussmann streets stretch under a thin Paris sky. The postcard frames that wider view of the city as a quiet art-stationery piece for letters, collecting, or display. From the Vincent van Gogh collection.
