🏡 Houses at Auvers II – Vincent van Gogh (1890)

A lively countryside corner under Van Gogh's brushes

In this peaceful village scene, Van Gogh depicts a white house with blue shutters, nestled in the heart of a lush garden, under a shifting sky. The work exudes an authentic, almost intimate charm, as if the painter invites us to enter this familiar yet vibrant landscape. Every brushstroke seems filled with light, wind, and humanity.

Historical context of the work

Painted during the last weeks of the artist's life, in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890, this painting is part of the many works created during this intense and prolific period. Van Gogh, settled in this small village north of Paris, finds in the rural architecture and lush landscapes an inexhaustible source of inspiration. These modest houses are for him the reflection of a simple, rooted, true life.

Visual analysis: contrast, movement, and light

The eye is drawn to the blue of the roof, contrasting with the green of the foliage and the nuanced gray of the sky. The brushstrokes, applied vigorously, create an effect of atmospheric vibration. The house in the center appears stable and welcoming, while the surrounding vegetation gives life and dynamism to the scene. The slightly tilted perspective enhances the feeling of immersion in the landscape.

Emotional and symbolic reading

"Houses at Auvers II" evokes a simple peace, a refuge in everyday life, far from the hustle and bustle. Van Gogh expresses here a quest for grounding and balance, through these modest, almost protective dwellings. It is also a celebration of the beauty of ordinary things, of cultivated nature, and of the harmony between man and his environment.
