À propos de l’œuvre
Bord de rivière au printemps, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Spring 1887 · Clichy, near Paris
Riverfront in spring, F352Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
The Seine describes a clear curve between banks covered with grass and young leaves; in this view of Clichy, Van Gogh adopts the fresh tones and quick touches discovered by the Parisian impressionists.
Look at the work
The Seine enveloped by spring
A dark birch stands on the left bank, while a second inclined tree frames the right. Between them, the pale river leads the eye towards a small, half-hidden construction.
The grasses and foliage are rendered by short touches of green, yellow, blue and white. Darker dots punctuate the branches and give the landscape its quiver.
The Dallas Museum of Art dates F352 from 1887. The painting probably belongs to a triptych of views of Clichy: traces of red border remain on its edges and are found on two landscapes of the same dimensions.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The 1961.99 inventory, the 48.9 × 58.1 cm format and the references F352/JH1321 identify this view of the Seine preserved in Dallas.
A river as a passage
The white and pale blue curve opens the center of the composition. The two banks converge without rigid architectural perspective.
The impressionist lesson
The colors are applied in separate and quick touches. Light is born from the juxtaposition of white, yellow, green and blue.
Original framing
Remains of red paint at the edge of the canvas indicate that Van Gogh had planned a colorful border common to several landscapes.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The painting documents the period when Van Gogh assimilated impressionist and neo-impressionist methods in Paris.
The banks of Clichy
The motif belongs to the landscapes painted along the Seine northwest of Paris, far from the grand boulevards.
The Clichy triptych
Bord de rivière in spring is close to Woman walking in a garden and Fishing in spring, three canvases of the same size formerly bordered in red.
1961.99 in Dallas
The work was donated to the Dallas Museum of Art by Mr. and Mrs. Eugene McDermott in memory of Arthur Berger.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must retain the freshness of the whites and greens, the dotted rhythm of the foliage and the discreet red border still visible in places.
- The clear curve of the Seine
- The dark birch of the left bank
- The tree tilted to the right
- The small construction at the bottom
- The yellow and white touches in the foreground
