À propos de l’œuvre
Paysage d'Auvers après la pluie, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June 1890 · Auvers-sur-Oise, France
Auvers landscape after the rainReproduction of oil painting on canvas
From a high point, Van Gogh spreads the fields of Auvers to the blue hills of the horizon. A white road, a cart and the plume of a train cross this landscape painted in the rain.
Look at the work
The Auvers countryside crossed by train
The canvas is organized in long oblique and horizontal bands: in the foreground, green and purple plots; further on, wheat, poplars and houses with red roofs. A clear road goes down to the right and carries a small cart.
On the horizon, the train appears as a thin dark shape almost hidden by vegetation. Its immense white smoke spreads to the left and connects the sky to the fields. Short, directional touches convey rain, wind and crop diversity.
The rural landscape is not still: road, cart, train and smoke give modern speed to the old plots of Auvers.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
This composition is the Landscape with cart and train F760/JH2019, now kept at the Pushkin Museum. The white smoke from the train and the diagonal road allow it to be identified unambiguously.
A panorama constructed in plots
Each field has its color and brush rhythm: dark green of potatoes, purple earth, whitening peas, pink alfalfa, tall tawny grass and wheat. Their juxtaposition gives the plain a very readable depth.
The road as a large diagonal
The white stripe starts from the bottom of the canvas and leads the eye towards the houses. Its tiny cart provides the scale of the vast panorama and balances the horizontal movement of the train.
The passage of the modern world
The train is just a detail, but its plume of smoke takes up a major place. It silently crosses the horizon and introduces speed into a landscape of crops and harvest.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The Pushkin Museum keeps this oil on canvas under inventory 0-3374. Painted in Auvers in June 1890, it measures 72 × 90.5 cm and bears the references F760 and JH2019.
Van Gogh describes each field
In a letter to his sister Willemien, the artist says he painted the day before, in the rain, a large landscape seen from above. It lists the potatoes, peas, alfalfa, reaper, wheat, poplars, train, road and cart visible here.
Carriole and train
The work is also known under the titles Landscape with cart and train and Landscape at Auvers after Rain. These variants clearly designate the same canvas F760/JH2019.
The ancient Morozov collection
The painting belonged to the great Moscow collector Ivan Morozov. It then entered Soviet public collections and is today kept at the Pushkin Museum.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
Reproduction must differentiate the many families of greens, keeping the road very clear, the cart tiny and the white smoke that slides in front of the hills.
- The white road in a steep diagonal
- The small cart placed in the foreground
- The train and its long plume of smoke
- Green, purple, pink and fawn plots
