À propos de l’œuvre
Champ clos avec soleil levant, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · November -December 1889 · Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France
Enclosed field with rising sunReproduction of oil painting on canvas
The sun rises above the Alpilles and floods a field enclosed by a wall. Green, yellow and purple furrows converge towards the horizon, while circles of light fill almost the entire sky.
Look at the work
A circular sun above the asylum field
The land occupies approximately two thirds of the canvas. Its furrows start from the lower edge then tighten towards the red-brown wall, creating a very strong perspective without characters or tools.
Beyond the wall, a few trees, a small construction and the Alpilles form a narrow band. The solar disk and its yellow rings dominate this horizon, opposed to the violets of the mountain and the furrows.
The landscape is both enclosed and expansive: the wall physically cuts the field, but the converging lines and the sun's radiation project the gaze well beyond.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
This private collection painting is cataloged F737/JH1862. It measures 71 × 90.5 cm and was painted in Saint-Rémy at the end of 1889.
Perspective is born from brushstrokes
The elongated keys follow the relief of the furrows. Their gradual tightening towards the wall builds depth more effectively than a detailed preparatory drawing.
Yellow responds to purple
The sun and young yellow-green shoots oppose the mountains and purple shadows. This complementarity maintains the light without erasing the morning freshness.
A sky organized in circles
The keys rotate around the solar disk in increasingly wider rings. This concentric movement contrasts with all the diagonals that travel the field.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
Enclosed field with rising sun is an oil on canvas of 71 × 90.5 cm, painted in Saint-Rémy between November and December 1889. It bears the references F737/JH1862.
The field seen from Saint-Paul
The motif belongs to the series of enclosed grounds visible from the establishment of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole. The wall separates this field from the agricultural landscape which rises towards the Alpilles.
Presented at the XX in Brussels
Vincent and Theo sent this painting to the seventh exhibition of the group Les XX. It was shown there at the beginning of 1890, a few weeks after its creation.
A work in a private collection
The painting is not attached to a public museum collection today. Its identification is based on the concordant references F737 and JH1862.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must preserve the convergence of the furrows, the red-brown wall, the solar circle, the purple Alpilles and the variations of yellow-green which differentiate each area of the field.
- The solar disk and its yellow key rings
- The furrows that converge towards the central wall
- The cold purples of the Alpilles and the shadows
- The small red construction visible beyond the wall
