Did you know?
During his time in Paris (1886-1888), Van Gogh encountered the works of Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist artists, which significantly influenced his style. This period marked a shift towards a brighter palette and systematic, distinct brushwork, moving away from the darker tones of his earlier Dutch period. This painting is a prime example of his exploration of these new techniques, reflecting the vibrant atmosphere of the Montmartre gardens.
