Vincent van Gogh
Prisoners Exercising
From $100
Van Gogh built this farm out of opposite colours, and a dull copy loses the spark between them. Our Van Gogh farmhouse in Provence print was graded beside the original so the orange stays warm against the blue, the reds sing against the greens and the sky stays turquoise.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
16x12 inch, 20x16 inch, 24x18 inch, 30x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its landscape shape suits a kitchen, a living room or a study. The oranges, blues and greens look cheerful with white, terracotta and natural oak, and a natural wood frame suits it.
About the painting
Farmhouse in Provence by Vincent van Gogh
Arles, summer 1888
Vincent van Gogh had moved to Arles, in Provence, in February 1888, looking for the light and colour of the south. He was thirty-five and painting faster than ever, out in the fields around the town.
Colour like music
Here he used three pairs of opposite colours at once: orange roofs against a blue sky, red flowers against green grass, and pink clouds against turquoise. Set side by side, each makes the other brighter. Painting, he told his brother, was becoming “more like music and less like sculpture.”
Monticelli’s son
He felt, he wrote to his sister, like “Monticelli’s son or his brother,” after the painter of thick, glowing colour he admired. His sister-in-law sold this canvas in 1890, and it now belongs to the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Read the story
Vincent van Gogh wanted his paintings to work like music, and this farmhouse is built out of colours that play against each other.
It's the summer of 1888, in Arles, in the south of France.
Vincent is thirty-five. He came south in February, looking for light and colour, and now he paints out in the fields almost every day.
Outside the town he finds a farmhouse with an orange roof, behind a low stone wall and a gate.
He paints the roof orange against a blue sky, so each makes the other brighter.
Then he scatters red flowers through the green grass, and floats pink clouds across a turquoise sky.
Three pairs of opposites, all in one small picture.
Painting, he tells his brother, is becoming more like music and less like sculpture.
To his sister he says he feels like the son, or the brother, of Monticelli, a painter of thick, glowing colour he loved.
A few months after he dies, his sister-in-law sells this canvas in Paris.
Today it belongs to the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Look at the orange roof against the blue, and listen to them play.
Farmhouse in Provence. Vincent van Gogh, 1888.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
