I left a lot of clues in yesterdays post so I can assume that everybody knows now we are talking about Vincent Van Gogh.

Vincent Van Gogh
(30 March 1853 - 29 July 1890)
 

In 1886, Vincent moved to Paris where he met members of the avant-garde, including Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin, who were reacting against the Impressionist sensibility. As his work developed he created a new approach to still life and landscape. His paintings grew brighter as he developed a style that became fully realised during his stay in Arles in the South of France in 1888.

From a letter by Theo to  Caroline van Stockum-Haanebeek about the apartment in Montmartre on 10 July 1887: 

As you may know, I am living with my brother Vincent, who is studying painting with indefatigable diligence. Since he needs quite a lot of space for his work, we are living in quite a large apartment in Montmartre (rue Lepic 54) which, as you know, is a suburb of Paris built up against a hill. The remarkable thing about our flat is that from the windows we have a magnificent view across the city with the hills of Meudon, St-Cloud etc. on the horizon, and a piece of sky above it that is almost as big as when one stands on the dunes. With the different effects created by the variations in the sky it is a subject for I don’t know how many paintings.
