À propos de l’œuvre
Les Vessenots à Auvers, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · May 1890 · Auvers-sur-Oise, France
Les Vessenots in AuversReproduction of oil painting on canvas
Green and yellow fields occupy almost the entire canvas, pushing the houses of the Vessenots towards a thin strip of horizon. The thick commas of the brush give the terrain continuous energy.
Look at the work
The fields bring the land closer together and the village further away
In the foreground, the furrows follow several yellow, green and blue diagonals. A sinuous blue-purple shape runs through the bottom of the composition, while the crops rise to the scattered houses.
White cottages, red roofs and trees are packed under a clear blue sky. On the right, a massive tree closes the view; in the distance, the hills are treated by long undulating bands.
The horizon placed very high transforms the field into a protagonist. The village seems close in color, but almost inaccessible behind the moving expanse of crops.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum preserves this painting under inventory 559 (1978.41). It is cataloged F797/JH2003 and is among the first painted views after Van Gogh's arrival in Auvers.
A compressed horizon
Houses, trees, hills and sky hold in the upper part. This framing leaves the field with an unusual depth and pushes the hamlet back despite the sharpness of its colors.
Writing periods and commas
Short brushstrokes, loaded with material, change direction with relief. Straight lines, loops and small commas describe each plant less than they convey the movement of the ground.
Doctor Gachet's house
The name Vessenots designates the sector of Auvers where Doctor Paul Gachet, first owner of the work, lived. The view thus associates Van Gogh's new landscape with his immediate surroundings.
Documented benchmarks

Les Vessenots in Auvers is an oil on canvas measuring 55 × 65 cm, painted in May 1890. It bears inventory 559 (1978.41) and references F797/JH2003.
A hamlet on the outskirts of Auvers
Les Vessenots is located west of the center of Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh observes the transition between open fields, gardens, low houses and hills.
Paul Gachet, first owner
Doctor Gachet, who followed Van Gogh during his stay in Auvers, owned this painting. This ancient link helps to precisely connect the work to the landscape of the Vessenots.
