À propos de l’œuvre
Chalet arboré, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June 1885 · Nuenen, Netherlands
Cottage with trees, F93Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A dark cottage stands out in front of an ocher yellow sky, crossed by a large black tree. A small red figure appears near the outbuildings: this lively detail gives scale to the massive architecture preserved in Cologne.
Look at the work
A black cottage in front of the evening light
The main roof forms a steep triangle on the left. The lower facade lines up a door and a few windows, while a second building closes the composition at the right edge.
The central tree spreads its branches above the roof and divides the bright sky. Near the passage between the houses, a figure wearing white and red stands out in the shadows.
Cottage with trees F93/JH805 is an oil on canvas mounted on a 32 × 46 cm panel painted in Nuenen in June 1885. It is kept at the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum under the number Dep. 0665 FC.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The contrast between the ocher sky and the blue-black silhouettes structures the entire image. Van Gogh uses the tree as a large vertical hinge between the main roof and the lower buildings.
The pinion cuts an almost black triangle
Its very steep slope stands out clearly against the light. The blue and green reflections of the thatch prevent this dark mass from appearing uniform.
The tree connects the earth to the sky
The trunk rises in front of the roof then branches into long horizontal branches. It gives an organic rhythm to the compact geometry of the houses.
The little red figure catches the eye
His light cap and red bodice constitute the brightest accent of the painting. Its tiny size underlines the scale of the cottage and the tree.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The Dep number. 0665 FC and the references F93/JH805 precisely identify this version of Cologne. It should not be confused with F92a, whose front facade is frontal and the sky pink.
A work preserved in Cologne
The Wallraf-Richartz-Museum presents the painting in the Corboud Foundation under the deposit number Dep. 0665 FC.
A canvas mounted on panel
The technique combines the flexibility of the painted canvas with an added rigid support. The original format measures 32 cm high by 46 cm wide.
The F93 version of Nuenen cottages
The large central tree, the ocher sky and the red figure are its distinctive features among the many rural houses studied by Van Gogh in June 1885.
