La casa della Crau
1888
Van Gogh captured this rustic farmhouse in the south of France during his prolific Arles period in 1888, seeking the intense light of the region. He used thick, heavy globs of paint—a technique called impasto—to build up the texture, making the roof and mountains look like they are vibrating with energy. The two small figures walking past emphasize the rugged, sun-baked solitude of the rural landscape.
