Description of Van Gogh's Painting
This is a view of a lane running off Rue Girardon known as impasse des Deux Frères, which cut the site of the Moulin de la Galette on the hill of
Montmartre in two. The Radet and Blute-fin were to the left of it and the Poivre to the right. The gateway to the Poivre , which is decorated with four flags, where people came to eat and to dance. The wheeled windmill which served as a advertising pilar.
Van Gogh's painting Street Scene from Montmartre, Le Moulin a Poivre, is made in spring 1887.
The painting is on a canvas, that was double primed, based on lead white. Its cool white color plays an important part of the appearance of the painting. Van Gogh used his
perspective frame, that only covered a part of the scene.
The street scene has a slightly
palette from the still lifes that immediately preceded it. There Van gogh concentrated on the secondary colors of violet, orange, and green-blue, but the emphasis here is on the contrast between the primaires blue and red.
Copy is made on the same canvas, and ground, and with the use of the same colors Van Gogh did. >
