À propos de l’œuvre
Des gens marchant dans un parc, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Summer 1886 · Paris
The Bois de Boulogne with passers-by, F225Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Walkers cross a clearing in the Bois de Boulogne under a blue sky covered with white clouds. The red and green trees form a light screen in front of a long red roof visible in the background.
Look at the work
The scattered silhouettes transform the park into a modern walking space
Van Gogh places the characters on several depths: a light woman advances to the left, a child accompanies an adult in the foreground, a dark group meets in the center and small figures line the aisle on the right.
The vertical trunks organize the width without closing the view. Between them appear the sky, the red roof and the clear paths; the succession of voids and solids gives the eye the sensation of moving around the park.
The Bois de Boulogne with loops F225/JH1110 is a 37.5 × 45.5 cm oil on canvas painted in Paris during the summer of 1886. The reference is associated with the Van Vlissingen Art Foundation in Zeist.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The Parisian palette is already clearly brightened: cyan blue, white, green, ocher and red are placed in visible touches. Black figures provide the accents needed to stabilize this light.
The trunks serve as a measure of depth
The largest tree cuts the foreground in the center; the thinner trunks gradually recede. Their size and spacing build the park without rigid perspective.
The sky occupies almost the upper half
Blue and white bands remain very visible between the peaks. This luminous opening differentiates F225 from the vertical version F224, tighter on the vegetation.
Clothes become punctuations
Black, white and red distribute walkers across the entire width. These small masses connect areas of the ground and prevent the clearing from appearing empty.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
F225/JH1110 and the horizontal format of 37.5 × 45.5 cm distinguish this view from F224/JH1112, another Bois de Boulogne with loops but vertical format.
The park offers a new subject to Van Gogh
After the fields and villages of Brabant, he observes here an urban leisure space where nature, walkers and buildings coexist.
F225 and F224 are not the same composition
F225 is horizontal, opens the sky widely and distributes the figures in a clearing; F224 is vertical and tightens the pattern around the trees.
Parisian painting gains clarity
The blue of the sky, the whites of the clouds and the yellows of the ground bear witness to the research carried out by Van Gogh in contact with impressionism.
