The artwork, titled “View of Vessenots near Auvers,” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. It is an oil painting on canvas, produced during the Post-Impressionism movement and falls within the landscape genre. With dimensions of 55 by 65 centimeters, it is currently housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.
The artwork portrays a vibrant rural scene with vividly colored fields and homes nestled among lush greenery. Dominating the foreground is a field filled with lively yellow brushstrokes, which subtly blend into rolling, green hills in the middle ground. The homes, characterized by their varied roof colors and surrounded by trees, line the horizon. The painting features Van Gogh’s characteristic bold and expressive brushstrokes, with the sky painted in dynamic, swirling hues of gray and blue, creating a dramatic yet harmonious composition. This picturesque depiction captures the essence of the countryside with intense color and energetic forms, reflecting Van Gogh’s emotional response to the landscape.
