About the piece

Created in 1886 during his early years in Paris, this oil painting by Vincent van Gogh depicts the rugged terrain of the Hill of Montmartre. The work illustrates a transitional moment in the artist's career, combining a traditional interest in rural industry—symbolized by the quarry and windmills—with the energetic, tactile paint application that would become his hallmark.
