EDITORS COMMENTS
Willem de Zwart's captivating oil painting, "Street in Montmartre, Paris, in the Winter" (1885-1931), transports us to the heart of Montmartre, Paris, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting, a beautiful blend of Impressionism and realism, showcases the unique charm of the hillside neighborhood during the wintry season. The scene is set at dusk, with the last rays of sunlight casting long shadows on the cobblestone street. Houses and buildings, some undergoing construction and others in various stages of disrepair, line the hillside. Debris and rubble litter the streets, a testament to the ongoing urban development. Horse-drawn carts and men, dressed in heavy coats, make their way through the narrow streets, adding to the bustling atmosphere. In the foreground, a horse and cart loaded with construction materials waits patiently, its breath visible in the cold air. The animals' calm demeanor contrasts with the activity around them, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. The hill in the background, with its winding streets and twisting alleys, is a familiar sight for those who have visited Montmartre. This painting is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when Paris was undergoing significant transformation. Willem de Zwart masterfully captures the essence of Montmartre, with its unique character and vibrant energy, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history and art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This oil on canvas painting is a treasure of Dutch and European art, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
