#Paris in #confinement brings out the best of artists in #Montmartre: #dancer changed her private studio with an open- air one on Butte Montmartre ( the top of the hill ), with a marvelous panorama view of the #city of #Paris.
#Montmartre is a real treat for everyone who like traveling, exploring and safying an artistic and cultural curiosity.
Once upon the time, there was a village with windmills and vineyards and green patches in #Montmartre Village . The spirit of the village is still be seen in the shapes of last two windmills on Butte known under one name: Le Moulin de la Galette ( 1622)
Both windmills have become not only a photography collection, but an infinite inspiration source for the #artists of #Impressionism and later, of the painters of the 20th C.
When Vincent #VanGogh came to Paris to join his beloved brother, Theo van Gogh, in rue Lepic #Montmartre, he was enchanted by the open spaces of the village, the vegetable gardens , the getting together at his #artist pal, Toulouse- Lautrec, the coffee time at Cafe ‘Le Consulat’ or playing billard a ‘ La Bonne Francquette’ and painting, painting, painting in the #French bright light of the sky of Montmartre’s artistic spirit.
Both #MoulindelaGalette’ bring the breeze of the #Dutch ‘ molen’ ( mills) to Vincent, who will paint them with human silhouette or as a singular character of the rural landscape.
One of the first paintings with #MoulindelaGalette was made in the year of Vincent’s arrival in #Montmartre #Paris.
‘ Moulin de la Galette vu de la rue Girardon’ , in 1886, almost monochromatic, as most of his previous paintings made in his native country – #Netherlands / #Holland.
Paris Always Walk Independent Tours offers you ‘ Moulin de la Galette’ view with rue Girardon, after 134 years, the very same windmill of the #heritage of #Montmartre, on May7, 2020, in #lockdown #Paris.
