Farmhouse in Provence
Vincent van Gogh · 1888
Why it's great
A white farmhouse sits among golden fields and green trees under a bright blue sky. Van Gogh painted it in Arles in summer 1888. The bold color and clean lines show his Japanese influences. It's a sunny scene of country life.

Vincent van Gogh was born in a small village in the Netherlands and worked as a teacher and art dealer before becoming a painter at age 27. He lived in the Netherlands, Belgium, Paris, and finally the sunny south of France, where his colors grew brighter and bolder. He painted more than 800 paintings in about a decade, yet sold almost none while alive. After his death at 37, his brother's family helped make him one of the most loved artists in history.
