À propos de l’œuvre
Vue de la chambre de l'artiste, rue Lepic, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · March-April 1887 · 54 rue Lepic, Paris
View from Theo's apartment, F341Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
From the apartment shared with Theo rue Lepic, the roofs of Paris unfold under a sky almost as vast as the city; walls, windows and smoke are dissolved in a pattern of small colored touches.
Look at the work
Paris seen from a fourth floor of Montmartre
Nearby buildings rise on both sides and open a path to the bluish roofs in the center. A long, low building with red windows crosses the foreground, under a vast strip of gray-blue sky.
The high facades are built by hundreds of dots and small orange, green and blue lines. Other areas, notably the sky and distant roofs, remain freer: Van Gogh combines two ways here rather than uniform pointillism.
Theo described from the apartment a magnificent view whose atmospheric effects could provide countless paintings. The Van Gogh Museum dates this version from March - April 1887.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
F341/JH1242 measures 45.9 × 38.1 cm. The museum highlights the alternation between tight punctuation and free brush, a compromise adapted to Van Gogh's spontaneous temperament.
A sky almost equal to the city
The horizon line is placed near the middle. The vast sky lightens the stacking of facades and restores the scale of the panorama evoked by Theo.
Buildings made of dots and lines
Nearby walls fragment into brief, multi-colored touches. Windows, bricks and fireplaces appear without continuous outline.
Two paint speeds
The disciplined punctuation of the buildings contrasts with wider passages in the sky. The museum sees this as the limit of a process too rigid for its spontaneous manner.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The current title, dating and references of the Van Gogh Museum correct the often too general identification of this view as a simple "artist's room".
54 rue Lepic in Montmartre
Vincent joined Theo in Paris then the two brothers moved to rue Lepic in June 1886, in an apartment offering an extensive view of the city.
March-april 1887
The museum notice places this version in early spring, before excursions to Asnières and the brighter landscapes of summer.
An experience with pointillism
Van Gogh adopted the separate touches discovered by the Neo-Impressionists, but mixed them with a freer execution.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must respect the great relationship between sky and city, the atmospheric blue of the distance and the density of the small touches on the two nearby buildings.
- The vast gray-blue sky
- The central breakaway to Paris
- The high facade with the right edge
- The low building with red windows
- Multicolored dotted keys
