À propos de l’œuvre
Le Mont Gaussier avec le Mas de Saint-Paul, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June 1889 · Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France
Mont Gaussier with the Saint-Paul farmhouse, F725Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
The Saint-Paul farmhouse stretches at the foot of Mont Gaussier, behind a succession of fields, trees and embankments. The only usable definition historical photograph being monochrome, the structure of the composition remains readable here without inventing an undocumented color.
Look at the work
The white farmhouse measures the scale of Mont Gaussier
The mountain closes the entire upper part with a succession of strongly surrounded peaks and slopes. In front of it, the light buildings of the farmhouse form a long horizontal line among the trees.
The first plan is divided into oblique plots, separated by embankments and vegetation lines. Two small figures and an isolated tree occupy the central area, giving depth and scale to the landscape.
The composition is based on a contrast of scale: fields and characters gradually lead towards the farmhouse, then the mountain dominates the entire horizon.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Mont Gaussier with the Saint-Paul farmhouse measures 53 × 70 cm. Painted in June 1889, this landscape is cataloged F725/JH1744 and is in a private collection.
A horizon closed by the mountain
The summit of Mont Gaussier almost runs along the upper edge. This proximity gives the relief a more massive presence than in views where the Alpilles remain a distant strip.
The farmhouse stabilizes the center
The light roofs and walls draw a regular horizontal between the dark slopes. They visually connect the foreground fields and the massif.
The plots create depth
Field boundaries widen downward and converge toward buildings. This irregular geometry draws the gaze without resorting to rigid perspective.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
Mont Gaussier with the Saint-Paul farmhouse F725/JH1744 was painted in Saint-Rémy in June 1889. The canvas measures 53 × 70 cm.
Two landmarks of the Saint-Rémy landscape
Mont Gaussier belongs to the Alpilles; the farmhouse depends on the estate of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole. Van Gogh thus brought together in the same view the local relief and the lands close to the asylum.
Figures almost absorbed by the fields
The two characters remain very small in front of the farmhouse and the mountain. Their presence makes the cultivated space habitable while emphasizing the scale of the site.
A work today in private collection
As the canvas is not kept in a public museum, reliable reproductions are rare. Monochrome photography preserves the drawing without applying artificial coloring.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must respect the profile of Mont Gaussier, the clear line of the farmhouse, the oblique plots, the central tree and the small scale of the two figures.
- The dark and jagged ridge of Mont Gaussier
- The long light farmhouse placed in the center
- The diagonal fields of the foreground
- The two little figures around the isolated tree
