About the piece

Painted around 1825 by Georges Michel, this work exemplifies the artist's fascination with the landscape around Paris. Known as the 'Ruisdael of Montmartre,' Michel uses a moody palette and dramatic chiaroscuro to imbue the scene with a sense of romantic isolation and natural power, centered around the iconic windmills of the district.
