Wooden sheds by Vincent Van Gogh

Wooden sheds by Vincent Van Gogh

This is one of the works written during a stay in the sanatorium for the mentally ill in Saint-Remy. Like many works of this period, it is a reflection of the state of depression, depression and anxiety that led Van Gogh to the disease.

The artist depicts one of the landscapes in the vicinity of the former monastery, in which the hospital was located. The ability to write in nature was presented to Vincent whenever he felt better. The author of the composition center is making several wooden sheds on the edge of a wide field with a group of shrubs. In the background there is a dark row of cypresses, stretching with sharp tops to the sky, and high lilac hills. Above all of this hangs a heavy, dark storm-clouded sky. His bright blue dots drop to the bottom, becoming almost black in places.

The earth and sheds are painted in a fiery orange color, foliage of bushes and grass are twisted by whirlwinds, and the sheds the author surrounds with a solid black outline. They seem lonely and unprotected amidst an unfriendly landscape. The dark-fiery color scale, deep shadows, sharp strokes of smears convey a heavy mood of depression and despair.
