Catalogue numbers: F 274, JH 1115. Van Gogh adopted the Impressionist and pointillist techniques from 1886 to 1888 in Paris. He schooled his sense of colour by painting countless floral still-lifes, and did at least fifteen paintings of the old Moulin de la Galette, which may have reminded him of Holland - though he had never painted a windmill when he was there. | |
