'De Rode Wijngaard' ('La Vigne Rouge') by Vincent van Gogh
'The Red Vineyard' by Vincent van Gogh was painted near Arles , France ushkin Museum in Moscow. It is supposedly the only piece sold by the artist while he was alive (to Anna Boch for 400 Swiss Francs, about $1,600 today).
I'm a really big fan of Vincent van Gogh, one of the great Dutch painters, a really inspired man. I haven't seen this painting before, thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen this one either, fantastic colours and vibrancy.
ReplyDeleteIt's "funny" that this masterpiece is so unknown to the general public (of which I am part).
ReplyDeleteAdd me to those who were ignorant of this painting before. I love it; it's so.....red!
ReplyDeleteA well-known Dutchman is he... I saw something recently, a new theory some authors developed which holds that Van Gogh was shot accidentally by some boys horsing around with a revolver. They had some pretty good circumstantial evidence collected. This is in contrast, of course to the standard notion that the painter committed suicide.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rob. I have not seen this before!
ReplyDeleteYet again, he takes my breath away.....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting with such vibrant colors! Thanks for sharing this.
