À propos de l’œuvre
Moisson en Provence, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June 1888 · Arles
Harvest in Provence, F558Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Large golden sheaves occupy an already cut field, while a dark worker advances to the right. On the horizon, a few white farms with red roofs stand out against a blue-purple band and a deep blue sky.
Look at the work
Harvesting is shown as an activity still in progress
The highest sheaves group together in the center and left. Closer to the viewer, two lying beams and a large thatched area open the composition and show the different stages of the work.
The worker stands almost at horizon level, between the erect millstones. His light shirt and dark pants create a small, very readable figure in the yellow immensity.
Moisson en Provence is an oil on canvas of 51 × 60 cm painted in Arles in June 1888. Referenced F558/JH1481, it belongs to the Israel Museum under numbers B66.1039 and 193121.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh combines powerful contours and a nervous touch. The sheaves are constructed by orange and brown curves, while the stubble in the foreground is indicated by a multitude of small yellow verticals.
The sheaves form an irregular wall
Their volumes overlap in the middle of the field, but blue and brown contours help distinguish each beam.
Worker gives harvest scale
Its small straight silhouette makes the sheaves appear more monumental and introduces a precise action into the landscape.
The blue of the sky cools the whole distance
Sky, hills and blue shadows contrast with the orange of the sheaves and the almost white yellow of the stubble.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The canvas F558/JH1481 belongs to the very narrow series of harvests painted around Arles in June 1888. Numbers B66.1039 and 193121 allow it to be identified in the Jerusalem collection.
A quick campaign in the fields of Arles
Van Gogh worked directly in the surroundings of the city and in a few days multiplied the views of sheaves, farms, millstones and cut fields.
Gift of Yad Hanadiv
The Israel Museum indicates that the work was donated by Yad Hanadiv from the collection of Miriam Alexandrine de Rothschild.
Two ID numbers
The painting is listed B66.1039 in the collection of the Israel Museum and 193121 in the Israeli National Base.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must preserve the stacking of sheaves, the silhouette of the harvester, the firmness of the horizon, the dark blue contours and the difference in touch between stubble and beams.
- The central group of sheaves
- The harvester on the right
- The vertical stubble in the foreground
- White farms
- The big blue sky
