The Mill is a 1834 oil by Georges Michel, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This oil painting by Georges Michel shows a windmill in a wide, flat landscape. The sky is stormy. It’s a quiet scene, not crowded with people. Michel studied old Dutch masters before making this. He used their style but added his own mood. His brushwork feels fresh, even though he looked back. Try looking up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
