“The Plain at Auvers,” painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, is an oil on canvas artwork characterized by its Post-Impressionist style. The landscape, measuring 73.5 by 92 centimeters, is housed in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
The artwork captures a vibrant and dynamic landscape, typical of van Gogh’s vigorous brushwork and bright, contrasting colors. The foreground is dominated by swirling green grasses and vegetation, leading the viewer’s eye into extensive patches of tilled earth and fields beyond. The background showcases rolling fields separated by geometric lines, under a sky filled with expressive, curling white clouds against a backdrop of azure blue. The overall composition exudes movement and energy, portraying the essence of the rural scenery in a uniquely expressive manner.
