À propos de l’œuvre
Prairie aux fleurs jaunes, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · April 1889 · Arles
Meadow with yellow flowers, F584Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Herbs, dandelions and small yellow flowers completely fill a small horizontal format where the ground becomes a luminous mosaic.
Look at the work
A meadow looked at at grass height
Painted in Arles in April 1889, this small canvas eliminates the sky, trees and any human presence. Van Gogh focuses on a meadow surface: jagged leaves, stems, open flowers and areas of land are seen up close.
The color yellow dominates, but it is never uniform. Acidic greens, ochres, browns and a few blue-gray lines circulate between the plants. The touch constantly changes direction, which makes the differences perceptible between flat leaves, erect stems and thicker clumps.
This fragment of soil has the energy of a large landscape: the absence of horizon brings the gaze closer to matter and makes each plant an event.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Reproduction must preserve the multiple values of yellow and the readability of plant forms, without reducing the whole to a monochrome surface.
No horizon
The gaze plunges directly into the meadow. The plants cut by the four edges extend the pattern and give the impression of a limitless field.
Differentiated yellows
Lemon, sulfur, ocher and gold overlap. Greens and browns are essential to separate flowers from foliage.
A drawing by the key
Van Gogh describes a leaf by a few oriented lines, a flower by a small disk and a tuft by radiating lines, without continuous outline.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
F584/JH1680 designates this Winterthur meadow, distinct from the wheat fields and gardens painted by Van Gogh in Saint-Rémy.

34.5 × 53 cm
The small horizontal format reinforces the character of close study and the concentration of the gaze on a few square meters of meadow.
Winterthur
The painting is kept at the Kunst Museum Winterthur in Switzerland, in an important collection of modern painting.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The painter must vary the direction, length and thickness of the lines to make the plant clutter readable and retain the sulfur light of the original.
- The continuity of the pattern up to the four edges
- Round flowers and serrated leaves
- Multiple values of yellow and ocher
- The green and blue-gray touches that structure the floor
