“Moulin de la Galette”, rendered by Maurice Utrillo, is an oil-on-panel artwork belonging to the Post-Impressionism art movement. The dimensions of this cityscape are 55.3 x 62.9 cm, and it currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a rustic and charming scene, dominated by the eponymous “Moulin de la Galette” windmill, which stands prominently in the background. The mill’s spinning blades and traditional structure evoke a sense of historical Parisian life. In the foreground, various wooden and fenced structures add depth and dimension to the piece, guiding the viewer’s gaze towards the central motif. Utrillo’s use of muted yet vivid colors highlights the juxtaposition of natural elements with man-made constructs, encapsulating the essence of urban serenity and historical charm.
