A Parisian scene of tenderness and everyday life: Van Gogh paints discreet love in the heart of Montmartre

Created in 1887, at the time when Vincent van Gogh was living in Paris, Couples d’amoureux au square Saint-Pierre reflects a rare moment of tenderness in his work, far from inner turmoil and troubled landscapes.
Here, the artist captures the quiet urban life, the discreet romanticism, and the beauty of the shared moment, in a public garden in the Montmartre neighborhood, then still semi-rural.

A calm composition, full of light and humanity

Strollers, benches, light trees, and peaceful atmosphere

The painting depicts several couples sitting or walking in the paths of a square. The slender trees, the gentle slopes, the pastel shades, and the simple gestures of the figures create a peaceful and intimate atmosphere.
In the distance, one can make out the typical walls and stairs of Montmartre, as well as the light atmosphere of a spring afternoon.

The palette is delicate and light :
– Soft greens,
– Pale ochres,
– Bluish grays,
– Pink and purple keys,
all applied with a light touch, influenced by Parisian Impressionism.

A painting of ordinary love, rooted in the city

Van Gogh, during his Parisian years, became increasingly interested in scenes of modern life. This painting expresses a form of serenity, a compassionate gaze on anonymous couples, without emphasis or exaggerated romanticism.

"I want to paint man and woman together, as they are seen in the street, in the park, without artifice – simply as they are."
– Vincent van Gogh (inspired by his letters)

This work is also a fond affectionate testimony of Montmartre life, before Van Gogh left the capital for the south.
