À propos de l’œuvre
Le restaurant Carrel, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · End of August 1888 · Arles
The Carrel Restaurant in Arles, F549Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Rows of tables covered with light tablecloths fill the room. Bottles, glasses, chairs and customers repeat themselves all the way to the back, where a large green door and bouquets structure the restaurant's entertainment.
Look at the work
A restaurant room seized from an empty table
The foreground is almost entirely occupied by wooden chairs and a tablecloth cut by the edge of the canvas. This proximity places the viewer among the tables.
In the center, a waiter dressed in white stands out against the seated guests. The yellow walls, green woodwork and blue-green bottles diffuse a warm light throughout the room.
Painted in Arles at the end of August 1888, this oil on canvas measuring 54 × 64.5 cm is listed F549/JH1572. It belongs to a private collection.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh organizes the crowd by repetition rather than detailed portraits. Chair files, table lines and silhouettes form a dense but readable rhythm.
Tables build perspective
Their cream and orange bands overlap up to the back wall and give depth to the room.
The bottles chant the foreground
Their green and blue silhouettes create dark verticals in the middle of the very light layers.
The server becomes the anchor
His white jacket and yellow hat isolate him from the center of the customers' movement.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
F549/JH1572 must be distinguished from the other Interior of a restaurant in Arles, F549a/JH1573, larger and organized according to a different framing.
The F549 canvas
Its 54 × 64.5 cm format, the chairs in the foreground and the central server allow it to be precisely identified.
The Carrel Hotel-Restaurant
Van Gogh stayed with Albert and Cathérine Carrel during his first weeks in Arles, before leaving the establishment on May 7, 1888.
End of August 1888
The work is not described in the preserved letters; its dating is based on catalogs and stylistic connections.
