À propos de l’œuvre
Paysage au crépuscule, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June 1890 · Auvers-sur-Oise, France
Landscape at duskReproduction of oil painting on canvas
Under a yellow sky crossed by oblique touches, a clear road sinks between fields and dark trees. The double square format stretches the landscape like a panorama: from the large tree on the left to the branches hanging on the right, each element leads towards the blue village in the distance.
Look at the work
A winding road under the last light of day
The path starts from the bottom center then goes around a group of trees before disappearing. On the left, a round tree stands in front of the fields; on the right, dark branches enter from the upper edge and partially close the sky.
The plots alternate green, yellow and brown, with rows of touches following the earth. A thin strip of blue houses occupies the horizon. The greenish-yellow sky is filled with rapid lines which give the evening a still active light.
The very large width-to-height ratio transforms a simple country lane into a panoramic twilight experience.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The work s0107V1962 can be recognized by its format more than a meter wide, its S-shaped road, the two asymmetrical tree masses and the yellow sky.
The double square format
Van Gogh uses a canvas of approximately 50 × 100 cm, two juxtaposed squares. This width allows the fields to breathe while maintaining the road as an axis of depth.
An asymmetrical plant frame
The round tree on the left rises from the ground; the branches on the right descend from the top. Their opposition opens an irregular window onto the village and the sky.
Light in the directions
The brushstrokes of the sky, the fields and the path change angle. The landscape thus seems crossed by currents rather than divided into immobile flat areas.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The Van Gogh Museum preserves Landscape at Dusk under number s0107V1962. This oil on canvas measuring 50.2 × 101 cm is cataloged F770 and JH2040.
One of thirteen double squares
In Auvers, Van Gogh adopted this very broad format for twelve landscapes and a portrait. He can thus explore the fields like a panoramic suite.
Vincent van Gogh Foundation
The work belongs to the Vincent van Gogh Foundation and is on permanent loan to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
50.2 × 101 cm
Its exact dimensions distinguish the canvas from ordinary 30-size landscapes and confirm the close ratio of two to one.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The painter must preserve the breathable width of the panorama, the clear road and the different rhythms of touches which separate sky, fields and foliage.
- The yellow sky covered with oblique lines
- The S-shaped road that crosses the fields
- Round tree on the left and hanging branches on the right
- The village's thin blue line on the horizon
