About the piece
Painted in 1886 during his formative years in Paris, this work captures 'Le Moulin de la Galette' on the Butte Montmartre. Van Gogh utilizes an earthy, tonal palette and expressive impasto brushwork to depict the local wine shop and the figures populating the hillside, documenting the transition of Paris from rural village to urban center.
