Gustave Mascart was a French painter and student of the widely traveled naval painter Jean-Baptiste Henri Durand-Brager (1814-1879), best known in his life for his navies with warships. Mascart focused on the realistic cityscape. Paris and the periphery in particular were featured in his oeuvre. He can be considered one of the pioneers of what has come to be called “Montmartre painters”, with his views of Montmartre, the Moulin Rouge, Place Pigalle, et cetera. Mascart has also painted cityscapes in other places, including in: Amsterdam (the Montelbaanstoren), Como, Ghent, Ostend and also the windmills of Kinderdijk.
