In Montmartre (Van Gogh series), how is the Montmartre scenes of the Works elucidated?
The Boulevard de Clichy (F292), a street in Montmartre, played an important role in van Gogh's life in Paris. The Café du Tambourin was located there, a restaurant just around the corner from the apartment where he lived with his brother Theo. There van Gogh met with other artists and displayed some of his works.  He had a relationship with the owner of the establishment, Agostina Segatori, who was also the subject in his painting Agostina Segatori Sitting in the Café du Tambourin. Located on the boulevard was the studio of Fernand Cormon, where van Gogh received training, as well as the Moulin Rouge and the homes of several of his friends, whom he referred to as "Impressionistes du Petit Boulevard": John Russell, Georges-Pierre Seurat and Paul Signac. The painting of the Boulevard is Impressionistic in terms of subject and technique.  Van Gogh used short brush strokes to depict the figures of the people and the buildings.  Light is reflected off the road.  Capturing a moment in a street scene was a common theme for Impressionists.  The vantage point for the painting was looking northwest from Place Blanche.  Rue Lepic's entrance is on the right side of the painting. Van Gogh also made a drawing of this site from a greater distance.
