Terrace at the Moulin de Blute-Fin — Vincent van Gogh, 1886

In 1886 Van Gogh climbed Montmartre often, where the Moulin de Blute-Fin's terrace put a working windmill on the edge of a Parisian skyline. This Paris-period view catches the city when its outskirts still had open air and flour mills — a detail that would vanish quickly. A Montmartre card for a city collection, a desk beside a window, or a reminder of the Paris Van Gogh knew by foot. From the Vincent van Gogh collection.
