À propos de l’œuvre
Intérieur d'un restaurant, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Summer 1887 · Paris
Restaurant interior, F342Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
White tables, yellow chairs and flowered bouquets occupy an empty restaurant room. The red and green walls are covered in images, while a hanging black hat seems to await the arrival of a Parisian customer.
Look at the work
A restaurant transformed into a manifesto of color
The tables arranged diagonally lead from the foreground to the bottom. Their light tablecloths and repeated chairs organize the space despite the abundance of dots and small touches on the walls and floor.
Each bouquet acts as a miniature still life. The flowers interrupt the white tablecloths and connect the blues of the fabrics to the reds, greens and yellows of the room.
Painted in Paris during the summer of 1887, this Interior of an oil restaurant on canvas measuring 45.5 × 56 cm is F342/JH1256. It is kept at the Kroeller-Müller Museum under number KM 110.328.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The museum considers this painting to be one of Van Gogh's most pointillist works. However, he does not follow the method strictly: tables and chairs are painted in elongated lines, and the shadows remain graduated.
The walls are built in small touches
Juxtaposed reds and greens make the wall vibrate, while frames, posters and foliage prevent any empty surfaces.
The furniture keeps longer lines
Chairs and table legs are drawn by yellow and brown lines which give a readable perspective in the middle of the dots.
The supplements are carefully distributed
Red and green dominate the walls, yellow and purple the floor, while the blue of the tablecloths responds to the orange-yellow of the chairs.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The instructions from the Kroeller-Müller Museum suggest reading the scene as a tribute to the modern art that Van Gogh discovered in Paris, from the divided touch to Japanese prints.
The black hat is waiting for a customer
Hanging high in the corner, it almost floats on the wall and is enough to suggest a human presence in the empty room.
A work by Van Gogh in the work
The image in the center of the wall is its Avenue du parc Voyer-d'Argenson in Asnières, a pointillist landscape which reinforces the character of a modern manifesto.
A print on the right wall
The Japanese poster or crepe recalls the collection of prints brought together with Theo and their influence on its framing and colors.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must preserve the perspective of the tables, the difference between points and elongated lines, the miniature bouquets, the black hat and the complementary colors of the room.
- The bluish white tablecloths
- Orange-yellow chairs
- Bouquets on the tables
- The hanging black hat
- Images of the right wall
