Paintings I love
Vincent van Gogh (Dutch (worked in France), 1853–1890)
Houses at Auvers
1890
Oil on canvas 75.6 x 61.9 cm
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
In May 1890, van Gogh moved from the south of France to Auvers, northwest of Paris, painting many of his finest pictures there in a feverish spurt of activity before his suicide in July. Houses at Auvers shows the landscape of early summer. The view from above creates a flattened tapestry of shapes in which the tiled and thatched roofs of the houses form a mesmerizing patchwork of color.
