À propos de l’œuvre
Les champs, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Around July 10, 1890 · Auvers-sur-Oise, France
The fieldsReproduction of oil painting on canvas
Under a vast stormy blue sky, Auvers' crops unfold in yellow, green and purple plots, crossed by red touches. Van Gogh looks at the plain like a mosaic where each field has its own direction.
Look at the work
A mosaic of cultures under an immense sky
The foreground brings together yellow furrows, blue-gray bands and numerous red punctuations evoking poppies. Further on, the plots change orientation and go up towards a very low line of trees. No building interrupts this cultivated area.
The sky occupies almost half of the canvas. Its blues are laid in wide superimposed curves which suggest charged clouds. Faced with this continuous movement, the earth is fragmented into distinct zones, each defined by its design and its range of colors.
The landscape holds two opposing rhythms together: the powerful continuity of the sky and the colorful fragmentation of the fields.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
This work in a private collection, cataloged F761, can be recognized by its very wide blue sky and the plots strewn with small red touches.
A very low horizon
The line of trees reduces the distance to a thin frieze. This decision gives the sky an unusual magnitude and reinforces the exposure of the plain.
Fields like a patchwork
Each crop uses a different brush direction: oblique, horizontal, curved or punctuated. The plot boundaries organize the entire depth.
Red in punctuation
The small red-brown touches pass through the yellows and greens of the ground. They awaken the palette without becoming a regular decorative motif.
Documented benchmarks

A canvas of 50 × 65 cm
More compact than double square panoramas, it concentrates the variety of crops in a relatively narrow surface.
A work in private hands

Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
Reproduction must keep the limits of each plot, the variety of touches of the ground and the depth of the blues of the sky without standardizing the surface.
- The little red touches distributed in the fields
- Changes of direction between each plot
- The thin line of trees on the horizon
- The large blue-gray curves of the charged sky
