“The Park at Arles with the Entrance Seen through the Trees” is a post-impressionist oil painting on canvas created by Vincent van Gogh in 1888 in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. The artwork, which falls under the landscape genre, is presently categorized as destroyed.
The artwork depicts a serene park scene, intricately capturing the natural beauty of Arles. Tall trees dominate the foreground, with their branches merging into a dense canopy, creating a textured and dynamic representation characteristic of van Gogh’s unique style. A pathway meanders through the park, leading the viewer’s gaze towards an entrance faintly visible through the foliage. In the distance, a fence is discernible, contributing a sense of depth and tranquility to the composition. The brushwork is vigorous, with thick, bold strokes that imbue the painting with a palpable energy, juxtaposed against the calming greenery of the park, hallmarking the Post-Impressionist movement.
