Vincent van Gogh's Vegetable Gardens and the Moulin de Blute-Fin on Montmartre, 1887
Vincent van Gogh's Vegetable Gardens and the
Moulin de Blute-Fin on Montmartre is an oil on
canvas (17-3/4 x 32 inches) that is housed in
the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

Van Gogh lightened his palette further as he worked outdoors, and he shifted his interest in the interaction of complements from red and green to yellow and blue. In this vista of a cottage farm and its windmill, van Gogh also varied his application of pigment, using a pointillist touch for the fields and a broken brush stroke for the sky.
