Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh painted this autumnal landscape while interned at a psychiatric hospital near Saint-Rémy in southern France. Although initially restricted to painting in his room, he soon resumed working outdoors. This painting reveals the full power of his mature style. Trees twist and lean against a darkening sky, while the intense colors applied with charged brushstrokes convey his emotional reaction to the subject.

A vertically oriented oil painting with thick brushstrokes and dollops of paint features two central orange and green poplar trees against a blue sky and swirling muted green, blue, and cream hills. The side-by-side trees are bushy and narrow, thinning toward the top, with the left tree taller than the right. A squared house can be seen in the background through the gap between them. Dark blue paint sketchily outlines the landscape.
