An exact picture of the original painting harvested in la crau by Vincent van Gogh in 1888.
I spent a lot of time creating this image in beautiful realistic fresh colours as I think Vincent van Gogh intended it to be.
The painting was made during Vincent van Gogh's time in Arles in Provence, France.
The harvest shows farm life on the hayfields of the arid Crau plain, during a clear summer day. Shown are the different stages of harvesting. The work is built up in layers. In the foreground we see the mowed corn and in the background the purple-blue mountains of the Alpilles, against a turquoise sky. The Abbey of Montmajour is also just visible. Although small in size, for Van Gogh the peasants' work was an essential judgment of the painting. Peasant life was a recurring theme in his oeuvre. On view are a haystack, ladders, several carts and on the right a man with a pitchfork. The essence of the work, however, is the depiction of what he called the "summer sun effect"and the specific atmosphere of the summer day. He makes the sultry heat of the sun almost palpable.
This image is available in different sizes and on different materials.
