1890, Vincent van Gogh, Daubigny's Garden -- Albertina (Vienna) [special exhibition]
From the museum label: Vincent van Gogh, who spent the last months of his life in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise north of Paris, admired the landscape painter Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878), who spent his entire life there. After his arrival, Van Gogh paid frequent visits to Daubigny's house and garden. This painting is one of two larger pictures he painted of the summer garden and the adjoining estate. As the meticulously laid-out flowerbeds and the trees lining the grass meadow show, it is a cultivated, secluded retreat. Van Gogh used a markedly stretched horizontal format (double square), which the painter repeatedly returned to from June 1890 onwards. The dynamic, forceful brushwork is typical of Van Gogh's late work.
