Vincent van Gogh made a series of paintings of Asnières.
Influenced by impressionism and pointillism, he modified his traditional style and used vivid colour, shorter brushstrokes, and perspective to engage the viewer.
His views of the banks of the Seine represent an important progression towards his later landscape paintings.
In Asnières, within walking distance of his brother Theo's flat in Montmartre, van Gogh painted parks, cafés, restaurants, and the river.
