1862
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Vue de la Ville de Maaslins is a 1862 by Johan Jongkind, a Impressionism work, depicting Windmill, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a small town by water, with a big windmill on the left. People walk along a path beside the water, some carrying sticks. In the distance, there are buildings and a church steeple. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried drawing. The artist focused on everyday life, not grand scenes. The windmill looks like a key part of the town’s work. Check out windmill to see how they were used in Dutch towns like this.
