Haystacks in ProvenceJune 1888, ArlesOil on canvas, 73 x 93 cm Rijksmuseum Kröller-Müller, Otterlo | |
Catalogue numbers: F 425, JH 1442. This painting of a Provençal farm with two huge hayricks was painted in June 1888 as a pendant to Harvest at La Crau (F 412). It calls to mind van Gogh's earlier portrait of sheaves of wheat, painted in Nuenen in 1885 when he was also preoccupied with cycles of rural labour and the seasons. |
