“Farmhouses Among Trees” is an oil on canvas painting created in 1883 by Vincent van Gogh while he was in The Hague, Netherlands. This piece belongs to the Realism movement, capturing a tranquil rural landscape and categorized under the landscape genre. The painting is currently housed in the Museum of John Paul II Collection in Warsaw, Poland.
The artwork depicts a serene scene of farmhouses nestled among tall, bare trees. The rustic buildings feature thatched roofs and exude a quiet, almost somber atmosphere. The sky, depicted with soft hues of blue and white clouds, contrasts gently with the darker tones of the trees and buildings. A meandering path and a small stream in the foreground further enhance the painting’s peaceful rural setting. The careful brushstrokes and muted palette emphasize Van Gogh’s ability to convey the calm and simplicity of countryside life, reflecting the essence of Realism.
