❄️ Snowy Fields in Arles – Vincent van Gogh (1888)

🌨️ A winter scene of luminous softness

Under a peaceful sky with shades of light blue, Van Gogh offers us a soothing vision of the Provençal winter. This painting, bathed in a crystalline light, transports us to a calm world where snow spreads over the fields, punctuated by the silhouette of a solitary walker accompanied by his dog. A simple scene, yet deeply evocative.

📜 A work painted upon his arrival in Arles

Painted at the beginning of 1888, shortly after Van Gogh's move to Arles, this canvas is one of his first depictions of the landscape of southern France. It marks a period of experimentation, where the artist marvels at the light of the Midi and captures the effect of snow on the Provençal crops, rare and striking. It is also a prelude to his major works created in this region.

🎨 Visual analysis: lines, light, and silence

The composition is structured by parallel vanishing lines that lead the eye towards the horizon. The strokes of pure colors, the whiteness tinged in places with pink or green, reveal a subtle play between texture and light. The sky occupies the upper half of the painting, balancing the scene and amplifying the sense of space. The walker adds a narrative, human, and discreet note.

🕊️ Symbolic reading: solitude and serenity

This landscape is not just a study of nature: it is also a meditation on solitude, a moment suspended between earth and sky. The snow, a symbol of silence and purity, seems to cover Van Gogh's inner turmoil to give way to a fragile and luminous peace.
