Trees set up a screen in front of architecture
Instead of opening a clear perspective towards the viaduct, Van Gogh multiplies the trunks in the foreground. The gaze must circulate between them to reconstruct the wall and the wagons.

Vincent van Gogh · March 1888 · Arles
An avenue of plane trees crosses the foreground, while a blue train passes almost furtively behind the trunks. Van Gogh paints the viaduct not as an isolated monument, but as a modern presence integrated into the spring of Arles.
Look at the work
The yellow and green trunks form an irregular colonnade over the entire height. Between them, the viaduct appears in fragments: a dark strip, a few blue wagons and small openings that interrupt the light wall.
The beige path sweeps across the bottom of the painting diagonally, bordered by green grass and white flowers. The blue sky slips between the still sparsely leafy branches; their network transforms depth into an almost decorative surface.
View of the viaduct in Arles, also called Le Train bleu or Les Moyettes, is an oil on canvas measuring 46.2 × 49.8 cm painted in March 1888. The work F398/JH1366 is kept at the Rodin museum under the number P. 07303.
Composition, touch and color
Painted shortly after Van Gogh's arrival in Arles, this study brings together a daily motif, a railway infrastructure and the awakening of vegetation. The train remains secondary: the real subject is the luminous succession of trunks.
Instead of opening a clear perspective towards the viaduct, Van Gogh multiplies the trunks in the foreground. The gaze must circulate between them to reconstruct the wall and the wagons.
The trunks are not brown: lime, pale green, orange and purple are next to them. This very light range detaches them from the sky and gives the avenue a spring intensity.
Its long horizontal strip cuts the verticals of the trees and the wall. The wagons are tiny, but their regular pace is enough to suggest rapid passage behind the park.
Documented benchmarks
References F398/JH1366 and inventory P.07303 identify the Avenue de plane trees of the Rodin Museum, known under several titles linked to the viaduct and the train.
The Rodin museum uses View of the viaduct in Arles and also mentions Le Train bleu or Les Moyettes. These titles in turn emphasize architecture, convoy or location.
The Literature documentation associates F398/JH1366 with one of the first study groups carried out in Arles, alongside bridges with washerwomen and landscapes under the snow.
The museum indicates that the sculptor probably bought it at the Soullié gallery. Given to the museum in 1916, the painting testifies to his admiration for Van Gogh, a landscaper.
