Champs de blé verts, Auvers, par Vincent van Gogh

Green wheat fields in AuversReproduction of oil painting on canvas
A green field fills almost the entire canvas, crossed by waves of curved touches and punctuated with yellow flowers. To the right, a pale road rises towards the horizon under a turquoise sky laden with clouds.
Look at the work
The wind travels through a field without figures or buildings
In the foreground, the plants are described by emerald green, dark blue and yellow commas. Their direction changes in successive bands, as if the wind were rippling the surface of the field.
The clear road appears on the right edge and joins the horizon in the middle of the canvas. Above, white, lilac and blue clouds rotate in a turquoise sky. No character, important tree or building distracts attention from this dialogue between vegetation and air.
Van Gogh reduces the landscape to three elements - field, path and sky - then gives them continuous energy by repeating the key.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The work 2013.122.1 can be recognized by its large mass of green wheat, the pale road which runs along the right and the coiled clouds which occupy the upper half.
A field woven with gestures
Short brushstrokes fit together like stitches. Greens never form a flat surface: emerald, celadon, blue and yellow describe each movement.
A road that retains composition
The light strip on the right offers a limit to the tumult of plants. Its calm route leads to the point where field and sky meet.
The same movement in the clouds
The curves of the sky respond to the waves of wheat. The air therefore seems to cross the entire canvas rather than remaining separated from the ground.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The National Gallery of Art preserves Green Wheat Fields in Auvers under inventory 2013.122.1. The oil on canvas measures 72.39 × 91.44 cm and corresponds to catalogs F807 and JH1980.
An almost pure landscape
The museum notice highlights the absence of a readable narrative motif: neither peasant, nor cart, nor architecture. The flora, the path and the sky alone carry the composition.
The return to greens and blues
In Auvers, Van Gogh found the cooler colors of northern France. Here, yellows do not dominate; they burst in small touches in a green range.
The Don Mellon of 2013
After belonging to Curt Herrmann and then Paul Mellon, the painting entered the National Gallery of Art in 2013 thanks to Rachel Lambert Mellon.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The painter must preserve the variety of greens, the calligraphic undulations of the wheat and the continuity of movement between the field and the clouds.
- The green and blue waves that structure the field
- The small yellow flowers scattered in the vegetation
- The clear road that goes up the right edge
- White clouds and rotating lilacs
