蒙馬特景色
1850
Long before the Sacré-Cœur basilica dominated the skyline, Montmartre was a rustic village of windmills and dirt tracks, captured perfectly here by Jongkind in 1850. A horse-drawn cart trudges up a muddy path past a weathered cottage, while three windmills stand silhouetted against a massive, billowing sky. Jongkind is often called the 'godfather of Impressionism' because he taught Monet how to paint outdoors; you can already see the loose, energetic brushwork in the clouds that hints at the revolution to come. It’s a snapshot of a Parisian countryside that was about to disappear forever.
