À propos de l’œuvre
La plaine d'Auvers, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June 1890 · Auvers-sur-Oise, France
The Auvers PlainReproduction of oil painting on canvas
Van Gogh embraces the Auvers countryside in an exceptionally panoramic canvas. Grindstones, wildflowers, furrows and undulating fields compose a succession of colors that stretches to the edge of the painting.
Look at the work
Fields built in successive waves
The vegetation in the foreground is dense and flowery. A light millstone stands on the left; a second, smaller and red-brown, responds to the right. Between them, the red of the poppies animates a large green mass.
In the center, a plowed field shows blue-gray rows that narrow towards the horizon. Around it, yellow and green crops follow the undulations of the terrain. Rare vertical trees give rhythm to this almost architectureless expanse.
The depth does not come from a central road, but from the superposition of colors and the gradual decrease of furrows.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The F775/JH2038 canvas is distinguished by its proportions of 50 × 101 cm, its high horizon, its millstones and its central field covered with gray-blue furrows.
Waves of earth and color
Field boundaries are curved rather than straight. They give the plateau a continuous undulation which connects foreground and horizon.
A very close foreground
Flowers and foliage are cut off by the bottom edge. This framing places the viewer in the middle of the vegetation before suddenly opening the view.
Some verticals to measure space
The trees on the horizon punctuate the great horizontality. Their tiny size accentuates the width of the plain.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The Plaine d'Auvers belongs to the Belvedere of Vienne under inventory 1007. This oil on linen canvas of 50 × 101 cm is cataloged F775 and JH2038.
A double panoramic square
With a ratio close to two to one, the canvas belongs to the very elongated formats experienced by Van Gogh during his last weeks in Auvers.
Overlay strips
Flowers, millstones, furrows, fields and sky form successive horizontal zones. However, the curves of the crops prevent any rigidity.
Inventory 1007
The painting is kept at the Belvedere in Vienna, where it bears the number 1007. It is neither dated nor signed on the canvas.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The painter must keep the finesse of the furrows, the transitions between the colored bands and the diversity of flowers across the entire width of the foreground.
- The light millstone on the left and its blue shadow
- The gray-blue rows of the central field
- Red poppies and white flowers
- The narrow strip of turquoise sky above the trees

An ideal horizon line to structure a room
The width of the canvas accompanies a sofa, a large desk or a headboard. Its fresh palette of turquoise, green and yellow brings light without losing the warm accents of flowers.
