An incandescent yellow field extends to the purple silhouette of Arles. The sun descends behind the roofs, while black smoke rises to the left: nature, city and industry meet in the evening light.

Look at the work
The field occupies the entire space between the viewer and Arles
More than half of the canvas is devoted to the wheat in the foreground, without trees or characters to interrupt its extent. The roofs, bell towers and chimneys then form a dark frieze in front of the sky.
The yellow sun appears very low, slightly to the right of center. On the left, several gray-black plumes rise diagonally; this opposition between immobile disk and mobile smoke animates the entire horizon.
Summer Evening, also called Wheat Field at Sunset, is a 74 × 92 cm oil on canvas painted in Arles in June 1888. The work F465/JH1473 belongs to the Kunst Museum Winterthur under the number KV 469.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh describes a "summer sun", a purple city, a yellow star and a green-blue sky. It does not seek a gentle atmospheric transition: each zone receives an autonomous color, intensified by contrasts.
01
Wheat is a surface for rapid movements
Yellow, orange, pink and purple follow one another in small diagonals. Their density makes the field almost tactile up to the lower edge.
02
The city becomes a dark frieze
Bell towers, roofs, chimneys and walls are reduced to discontinuous silhouettes which clearly separate the plain from the sky.
03
Smoke introduces the modern world
Their large gray curves cross the sky and respond to the movement of the field, while signaling railway and industrial activity around Arles.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The Kunst Museum Winterthur preserves the painting under the title Soir d'été and the number KV 469. References F465/JH1473 link it to the very productive campaign of June 1888 in the Crau fields around Arles.
Location
Arles beyond the plain
The city is seen from the fields surrounding it. Its monuments and modern facilities blend into a compact line on the horizon.
Color
Yellow, purple and green-blue
Van Gogh himself formulates this combination in his correspondence. The complements give the sunset light an intensity far removed from naturalism.
Collection
Gift of Doctor Emil Hahnloser in 1922
The painting joins the Winterthur museum by the donation of Doctor Emil Hahnloser and today bears the inventory number KV 469.
The copy must preserve the immense yellow foreground, the precise frieze of the buildings, the solar disk, the plumes of smoke and the multiple orange, pink and purple diagonals of the wheat.
