“Vincent’s House in Arles (The Yellow House)” is an artwork created in 1888 by Vincent van Gogh during his stay in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. The medium employed for this piece is watercolor on paper, and it belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 31.5 by 25.5 centimeters, and it is categorized as a cityscape. This distinguished piece currently resides in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a vibrant and colorful cityscape featuring a series of modest buildings painted in bright hues, the prominent one being a yellow house with green-lined windows, which stands at the center. The scene is set against a moody, deep blue sky that contrasts sharply with the bright front of the buildings and the light pavement. The streets are sparsely populated, with a few human figures subtly placed, which adds a sense of quietude to the overall composition. To the left, a tree with lush green foliage provides a touch of natural beauty, harmonizing with the welcoming facades of the buildings. The architectural details, vibrant colors, and distinct brushwork are emblematic of Vincent van Gogh’s Post-Impressionist style.
