Look at the work
Twilight at the foot of Montmartre
Two blue-gray paths meet in the foreground and lead to a row of trees. Three tiny walkers appear between the trunks, reduced to red and dark accents.
The sky is largely yellow, while the foreground is covered in blue. This unusual distribution of colors reflects the transition from day to night without resorting to long shadows.
Square Saint-Pierre was still recent when Van Gogh painted it in May 1887. Today called Square Louise-Michel, it goes up to the Sacré-Cœur, whose basilica was then under construction.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The Van Gogh Museum identifies the canvas by the inventory s0098V1962, the dimensions of 33 × 42 cm and the references F275/JH1278.
01
A yellow sky for the evening
Instead of gradually darkening the sky, Van Gogh uses a bright yellow and places the blues in the aisles; this inversion makes the uncertain time feel.
02
Trees still young
Their modest size and separate crowns reflect the park's recent development, ahead of the abundant vegetation visible today.
03
Three figures reduced to the essentials
Walkers are painted with just a few touches. Their presence gives the scale of the square and enlivens the center line without distracting from the landscape.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The museum notice precisely links the Parisian landscape to the urban history of Montmartre and the construction of the Sacré-Cœur.
Topography
At the foot of the Sacred Heart
The square extends on the slope of Montmartre; today it bears the name Louise Michel.
Era
A basilica still under construction
In 1887, the Sacred Heart was not completed. Van Gogh chose to frame the park and its young trees rather than the monument.
Color
Yellow at the top, blue at the bottom
This voluntary chromatic organization makes it possible to suggest the sunset with great economy of detail.
The copy must respect the cold blues of the paths, the streaked yellow sky and the smallness of the three walkers, without making the trees too dark.
