The artwork, entitled “Houses in Auvers 2,” was created by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh in the year 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. This piece is executed in oil on canvas and is an exemplary work of the Post-Impressionism art movement. The artwork measures 75.6 by 61.9 centimeters and belongs to the landscape genre. At present, the artwork is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
The artwork presents a picturesque scene depicting a collection of houses nestled within a vibrant and lush rural landscape. Van Gogh’s characteristic bold and expressive brushstrokes are evident, creating a dynamic texture and movement within the foliage and the sky. The rooftops, rendered in vivid colors, stand out against the background of verdant trees and shrubbery. The composition portrays a sense of serene countryside life, while the expressive impasto technique adds a lively and somewhat turbulent quality to the scene. Van Gogh captures the essence of the rustic setting, imbuing it with his intense emotional perception and unique artistic vision.
