Look at the work
A whole day of work in the plain
Van Gogh paints the summer harvest from a slightly high point. The fields form large yellow and green bands; a blue cart, conical millstones, piles of sheaves and small figures distribute the work across the entire width.
The mountain and the abbey of Montmajour appear in the distance, almost melted into blue. In the foreground, a light fence and a strip of cut wheat separate the viewer from the plain. Color orders the scene even more than the drawing: golden yellow, blue, olive green and brick red.
Van Gogh does not paint a spectacular moment, but the sum of the gestures of the harvest: each tool, each figure and each pile of wheat finds its place in the plain.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The reproduction must keep the horizontal amplitude, the multitude of small patterns and the clear hierarchy between foreground, plain and horizon.
01
A work map
Activities are distributed like signs: blue cart, millstones, ladders, sheaves and workers. Their exact position makes the scene readable.
02
Yellow dominance
Several yellows coexist, from pale wheat to the ochres of the millstones. Greens and blues separate them to avoid a uniform surface.
03
A distant horizon
The Alpilles and Montmajour remain low and bluish. This discretion gives its full extent to the Crau plain.

Season
June 1888
After the spring orchards, Van Gogh chose the harvest to translate the Provençal summer into yellow and blue.
The difficulty comes from profusion: every detail must remain visible without weakening the large bands of color that carry the composition.
