About Landscape after Van Gogh

The artwork titled “Landscape after Van Gogh” was created by Francis Bacon in 1952, belonging to the Expressionist art movement. It represents a landscape genre.

The artwork presents a dynamic and somewhat turbulent depiction of a rural landscape, drawing inspiration from Van Gogh’s distinctive style. Strokes of paint suggest motion and rhythm across a field that is alive with wild grass and vegetation, bending and twisting under an unseen force. The horizon line is marked by a series of dark, tree-like forms against a sky painted with vertical streaks of blues and purples. The interplay of vivid colors and expressive brushstrokes conveys a sense of intensity and emotional depth, characteristic of both Bacon’s expressive approach and Van Gogh’s influence. The piece effectively captures the spirit of the landscape while infusing it with a personal intensity that is unmistakably Bacon’s own.
