À propos de l’œuvre
Vue d'Auvers, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · May -June 1890 · Auvers-sur-Oise, France
View of Auvers-sur-OiseReproduction of oil painting on canvas
The houses of Auvers are squeezed between a green slope and a foreground of gray vegetation. Red roofs, white facades and blue-purple bell towers make up a strip of village under a very clear sky.
Look at the work
The village caught between two movements of land
The houses occupy the center of the canvas. Their orange, blue and gray roofs overlap, punctuated by several gables and a bell tower. Behind them, a green hill rises almost to the sky.
In the foreground, the vegetation is painted in large gray-green loops which follow the relief. The sky, on the contrary, is laid in horizontal white and blue bands; these opposite directions frame the architecture.
Van Gogh does not describe every street: he condenses Auvers into a frieze of roofs, held between the swell of grass and the large flat area of the hill.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The Van Gogh Museum preserves this view under inventory s0105V1962. It is cataloged F799/JH2004 and is one of the very first paintings made in Auvers.
An almost square composition
The 50 × 52 cm format limits the panoramic effect. The houses are therefore superimposed in depth and the green slope acts as a continuous bottom.
Three brush writings
Tight loops in the foreground, flat and diagonal in the hill, horizontal bands in the sky: each area receives a different rhythm, clearly readable.
Roofs as a chromatic range
Orange, slate blue, purple gray and white distribute buildings without rigid architectural outline. The village remains recognizable while becoming a construction of colors.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
View of Auvers-sur-Oise is an oil on canvas measuring 50 × 52 cm, painted in May - June 1890. It bears the inventory s0105V1962 and the references F799/JH2004.
Auvers discovered in a few days
Van Gogh arrived on May 20, 1890. He immediately painted houses, gardens and trees in bloom; this view belongs to the first group of works of the new stay.
Gezicht op Auvers
The museum uses the Dutch title Gezicht op Auvers, translated as Vue d'Auvers-sur-Oise. It should not be confused with Vue d'Auvers with the church, F800.
Inventory s0105V1962
Remaining in the artist's family, the painting was transferred in 1962 to the Vincent van Gogh Foundation and belongs to the fund managed by the Van Gogh Museum.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The reproduction must preserve the almost square format, the differences between each roof, the large green slope and the three rhythms of touch which separate foreground, village and sky.
- The gray-green curls of the vegetation in the foreground
- The orange, blue and purple roofs of the village
- The vast green hill behind the houses
- The white and blue bands of the sky
