View on Monmartre
Johan Barthold Jongkindcirca 1850
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Jongkind owes his fame to the freshly coloured work that so impressed the young Monet, but it was preceded by a very different kind of painting. An excellent example is this view of Montmartre, made when Jongkind was only in his late 20s and studying in Paris. Everything still looks very much like Schelfhout, and even more like the Frenchman Isabey, Jongkind’s Parisian teacher.
