🎨 The Large Plane Trees (Road Menders at Saint-Rémy), 1889
by van Gogh 🇳🇱
oil on fabric, 73.4 x 91.8 cm
Cleveland Museum of Art, USA
About the artwork:
This painting was created during van Gogh's time at the Saint-Paul asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, where he voluntarily admitted himself to recover from his mental health issues. The subject of the painting, plane trees on a road with road menders at work, reflects van Gogh's enduring interest in the natural world and everyday life.
Van Gogh's use of bold, swirling brushstrokes and vibrant colors is evident in this work. The thick application of paint creates a textured, almost three-dimensional effect. The choice of colors, with various shades of green, brown, and yellow, vividly conveys the essence of the plane trees and the autumnal atmosphere.
