À propos de l’œuvre
Bordure d'un champ de blé avec des coquelicots, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Spring 1887 · Paris
Border of a wheat field with poppies, F310aReproduction of oil painting on canvas
At the level of a field of yellow wheat, a few red poppies punctuate the curved stems; a line of shrubs and young trees separates this warm mass from a lavender blue sky crossed by clouds.
Look at the work
A fragment of the countryside observed up close
The field occupies the lower half of this small vertical format. The ears are painted in yellow, green and brown lines which intersect, while the red flowers appear as brief punctuations.
The horizon remains low. A thin trunk rises along the left edge and young dark shoots stand out in front of the sky, whose blue, white and purple touches follow changing directions.
This oil on canvas mounted on cardboard measures 40 × 32.5 cm. Painted in Paris in the spring of 1887, it bears the references F310a and JH1273 and belongs to the Frederic C. Hamilton Collection of the Denver Art Museum under number 2021.436.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh isolates a border rather than a vast panorama: the low point of view, the almost equal division between sky and earth and the complementary blue-orange give all its intensity to the small format.
Wheat becomes a network of signs
The stems are not described one by one. Parallel lines, curves and hatching construct both plant density and the impression of movement.
Poppies punctuate the foreground
Red appears in spaced touches in the middle of the yellows. Each flower serves as a reference and prevents the lower part from becoming a uniform mass.
A sky as active as the field
Blue and white brushstrokes circle around bare branches. The sky thus responds to the movement of the ears rather than forming a calm background.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
Data from the Denver Art Museum and catalogs make it possible to precisely identify this painting from the Parisian outskirts.
Frederic C. Hamilton Collection
The work entered the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum and is now numbered 2021.436.
Canvas mounted on cardboard
The support combines a painted canvas and reinforcing cardboard, significant material precision for this small format of 40 × 32.5 cm.
The countryside still visible around Paris
Without an identifiable monument, the exact site remains uncertain; the subject, however, corresponds to the fields and gardens that Van Gogh painted on the margins of Montmartre.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must retain the intimate scale, the little red touches and the very clear dialogue between the yellow of the field and the lavender blue of the sky.
- The red poppies scattered
- Yellow ears hatched
- The thin trunk at the left edge
- Young trees on the horizon
- The moving blue-white clouds
