Vineyards at Auvers, Vincent van Gogh (june 1890)
This canvas focuses on the twisted forms of grapevines depicted with Vincent van Gogh’s characteristic, heavily loaded brushstroke. Red poppies animate the composition, as do the red roofs in the distance. In May 1890, after spending two years in the south of France, Van Gogh moved to the village of Auvers, just to the north of Paris. He spent two prolific months there, producing about 70 paintings before his suicide.
