Courtauld 06 Vincent Van Gogh - Peach blossom in the Crau  [9 of 15]


6. Vincent van Gogh - Peach Blossom in the Crau, March-April 1889, 65 x 81 cm. Crau is a wide plain that lies to the north-east of Arles. Van Gogh: “the big one is a poor landscape with little cottages, blue skyline of the Alpilles foothills, sky white and blue. The foreground, patches of land surrounded by cane hedges, where small peach trees are in bloom – everything is small there, the gardens, the fields, the orchards and the trees, even the mountains, as in certain Japanese landscapes, which is the reason why the subject attracted me”.
