La Crau - França
Courtald Institute Gallery Londres
OST - 65x81 - 1889
This is van Gogh’s last view of a plain outside Arles
that he often painted since settling in the south of France in 1888. He wrote
to the painter Paul Signac ‘everything is small there ... even the mountains,
as in certain Japanese landscapes, which is the reason why the subject
attracted me.’ The snow-capped peak on the right (a deliberate echo of Mount
Fuji in Japan) and blossoming trees create a peaceful atmosphere. But the bent
figure at left emphasises this is a man-made landscape.
