A road to infinity: Van Gogh blends sky, movement, and mystery in a vibrant composition

Painted in May 1890 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Road with Cypress and Star is one of the most symbolic and poetic works of Vincent van Gogh.
She expresses the intensity of life's journey, between earth and sky, solitude and light, night and hope. In this canvas, Van Gogh gives a simple path an existential dimension, where each element — the road, the tree, the star — becomes the language of the soul.

A composition in motion, between earthly grounding and celestial calling

A winding road, a couple, a majestic cypress, a shining star

The scene shows a winding road in the heart of the Provençal countryside. A couple walks hand in hand, accompanied in the distance by a cart pulled by a horse.
On the edge of the path rises an imposing cypress, a recurring figure in Van Gogh's work, dark, upright, almost mystical. Above, shines a solitary star, in a deep blue-green sky, dotted with undulating touches.

The palette is rich and contrasted :
– Intense greens and blues,
– Bright yellows,
– Warm ochres of the earth,
– White and gold keys for the star, a sign of hope.

A painting between emotion, symbolism, and inner energy

In this work, Van Gogh unites earthly movement (the road, walking, everyday life) with spiritual elevation (the cypress, the star). The couple is not individualized, it represents each of us, walking towards an unknown but illuminated horizon.

"The night is more alive and more richly colored than the day..."
– Vincent van Gogh, letter to Theo

It is a work that is both simple and universal, down-to-earth and transcendent, narrative and lyrical.
