Gezicht op de heuvel van Montmartre (Voor het onweer, 'Avant l'Orage') is a painting by the French artist Georges Michel, known for his evocative landscapes that capture the dramatic interplay between light and shadow. Michel, often referred to as the "Rembrandt of Montmartre," was a precursor to the Barbizon School and played a significant role in the development of 19th-century landscape painting in France.

This particular work, created in the early 19th century, depicts the Montmartre hill before a storm. The painting is characterized by its moody atmosphere and dynamic sky, typical of Michel's style, which often focused on the sublime aspects of nature. The scene is dominated by dark, swirling clouds that suggest an impending storm, casting a shadow over the landscape below. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights Michel's skill in capturing the transient effects of weather and light, a technique that would later influence Impressionist painters.

Michel's choice of Montmartre as a subject reflects his interest in the rural outskirts of Paris, which were rapidly changing during his lifetime. At the time, Montmartre was a semi-rural area, and Michel's work captures its rustic charm before it became fully urbanized. His paintings often convey a sense of nostalgia for the disappearing countryside, a theme that resonated with many artists of his era.

Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Michel's work has gained appreciation for its atmospheric quality and technical proficiency. His landscapes are seen as a bridge between the classical traditions of the 18th century and the emerging modern movements of the 19th century. Gezicht op de heuvel van Montmartre (Voor het onweer, 'Avant l'Orage') exemplifies Michel's ability to convey emotion through landscape, making it a significant piece in his oeuvre and a valuable contribution to the history of French landscape painting.
