À propos de l’œuvre
Ramasseur de bois dans la neige, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · September 1884 · Nuenen
Wood pickers in the snow, F43Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Four silhouettes cross a snowy plain carrying bundles. The sun descends to the left behind a row of trees, while dark traces, shadows and paths structure the vast white foreground.
Look at the work
A rural winter told by four silhouettes and their bundles
The collectors advance in an irregular line in the middle of the landscape. The weight of the wood curves their bodies and makes their walk legible despite the smallness of the figures.
Snow is not uniformly white: it mixes cream, pink, gray blue and brown. These variations reveal the passages, the hollows of the terrain and the low light of the setting sun.
Wood Collectors in the Snow F43/JH516 is an oil on canvas mounted on a 67 × 126 cm panel painted in Nuenen in September 1884. It belongs to the Yoshino Gypsum Collection in Japan.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Like Potato Plantation, this composition belongs to the seasonal landscape project for Antoon Hermans. The large horizontal format gives the winter crossing a silent scale.
The carriers form a human diagonal
Distributed from center to right, the four figures connect the foreground to the tree line and prevent the vast field from remaining still.
Snow is built by colors
Creams, blue grays, pinks and browns describe a surface already covered; dark accents indicate holes, traces and vegetation.
The sun balances the mass of the bundles
The luminous disk placed on the left responds to dark silhouettes closer to the center and organizes the width of the composition.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The documentary sheet identifies F43/JH516, the format of 67 × 126 cm, the date of September 1884 and the support mounted on panel.
Winter in a rural cycle
This snowy crossing represents winter among six compositions linked to the work and landscapes of the different seasons.
A composition designed for Antoon Hermans
Van Gogh prepares these big topics when the Eindhoven goldsmith plans to order panels for his dining room.
The canvas fixed on a panel
Painting is today described as an oil on canvas mounted on panel, a montage that stabilizes its horizontal format.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must preserve the four curved silhouettes, the dark fagots, the low sun, the line of trees, the traces of the terrain and all the colors contained in the snow.
- The orange sun near the left edge
- The four porters loaded with wood
- The bundles with irregular contours
- Paths and tracks in the snow
- The tree line that closes the horizon
