Description
Stairway at Auvers, 1890 by Vincent van Gogh. The expressive, swirling lines of the foreground road move backward to the center of the composition and join the base of a stairway on which an elderly man with a stick descends. Chestnut trees are in flower to the right and left, while two pair of women walk along the road. Vincent van Goghâs work is of a compact, almost claustrophobic density and the sky is barely seen. In one of his final letters, Van Gogh described Auvers as âof a grave beauty, the real countryside, characteristic and picturesque.â
