View of Paris

Vincent van Gogh’s ‘View of Paris’ portrays the city from an elevated perspective, capturing the bustling urban landscape beneath a cloudy sky. Painted in 1886, the composition reflects van Gogh’s move to Paris, where he was influenced by Impressionism and began experimenting with lighter palettes and looser brushstrokes. The artwork depicts the rooftops and architectural elements of the city, with an emphasis on atmosphere and the transient effects of light and weather.
