À propos de l’œuvre
Chemin dans les bois, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · May -July 1887 · Paris
Path in the woods, F309Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A pink and cream path goes around a blue-green undergrowth; the tight trunks, the inclined branches and the luminous clearing at the bottom transform this small Parisian canvas into a study of rhythm and depth.
Look at the work
A clear path at the edge of dense undergrowth
The forest occupies almost the entire surface. Fine trunks overlap in blue, green and brown, while the path starts from the bottom right and goes up towards a pale yellow opening.
The keys follow the relief: vertical on the trunks, oblique in the foliage and curved along the path. This variation makes the space readable without detailed academic drawing.
The Van Gogh Museum places the work in Paris between May and July 1887. Its dimensions, its inventory s0080V1962 and its references F309/JH1315 identify this version precisely.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
This oil on canvas measures 45.3 × 37.7 cm. The vertical framing gives the path and the clear gap an essential role in depth.
A path that turns
The pink curve of the path interrupts the vertical pattern of the trees. It leads the eye towards a brighter area without revealing the rest of the route.
A forest made of touches
Branches and leaves are suggested by short juxtaposed lines. The blue grays maintain a cool atmosphere despite the yellow accents.
A clearing as an arrival point
The thinning placed on the right acts as a spatial opening. Its light contrasts with the darker, tighter mass of the undergrowth.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The official notice provides a tight dating, support, dimensions and two catalog raisonné numbers.
s0080V1962
This issue of the Van Gogh Museum distinguishes the canvas from other wooded landscapes painted by the artist during his stay in Paris.
Spring and summer 1887
Van Gogh then worked in Paris and developed a lighter palette, with separate touches and colorful contrasts.
A vertical of 45.3 cm
The small vertical format concentrates the composition on the trunks and on the upward movement of the path.
Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
The copy must preserve the exact curve of the path, the transparency of the blue-green colors and the constant change of direction of the keys.
