Beginning in the mid-1870s, when he was still a “Sunday painter,” Gauguin spent much time with the Impressionists, exhibiting with them and collecting their paintings. The lively color, small brushstrokes, and unassuming
subject of this village view reflect the influence of Pissarro, with whom Gauguin worked in 1882 and 1883 in Pontoise and Osny. The way Gauguin groups strokes of paint directionally and compresses the spatial midground
demonstrates his familiarity with Cézanne’s working methods; the Provençal artist had also painted alongside Gauguin and Pissarro in Pontoise.
