View from the Room in the Rue Lepic, Paris — Vincent van Gogh, 1887

From 1886 to 1888, Van Gogh lived at 54 Rue Lepic, Montmartre, with his brother Theo. This 1887 interior view looks out across the Paris rooftops — chimney stacks, zinc roofs, and overcast Île-de-France sky — with the quiet directness of a sketcher's eye. A domestic vantage rarely seen in his Parisian work. Art postcard from the Vincent van Gogh collection at Zolota Ptakha.
