Vincent van Gogh
Prisoners Exercising
From $100
Van Gogh built this garden out of thousands of small touches of red, yellow and blue, and a soft copy blurs them into mud. Our Garden in Bloom Arles Van Gogh print was graded beside the original so the poppies stay red, the blues stay clear and every dab of colour holds its place.
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
12x16 inch, 18x24 inch, 30x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its tall shape suits a hallway, a bedroom or the narrow wall beside a window. The reds, yellows and blues look wonderful with white, sage and natural oak, and a natural or white frame keeps it sunny.
About the painting
Flowering Garden (Garden in Bloom, Arles) by Vincent van Gogh
Arles, July 1888
Vincent van Gogh had come to Arles in the south of France that February, and by summer the town was full of flowers. He was thirty-five, living alone in the Yellow House and hoping his friend Gauguin would come and join him.
One garden, twice
He found a garden full of flowers and painted it twice on the same size of canvas, “one vertical and one horizontal one of the same subject,” he wrote to his brother. This is the vertical one: red poppies in front, then bands of yellow, white and blue, with a dark tree and a red roof at the top.
A friend’s praise
A fellow painter in Arles, the American Dodge Macknight, usually said nothing about his work. This time, Vincent wrote, he “very much liked my last two studies (the flower-garden).” This version is in a private collection; the other is in The Hague.
Read the story
Vincent van Gogh painted this garden twice that July, once standing up and once lying down.
It's the summer of 1888, in Arles, in the south of France.
Vincent is thirty-five. He lives alone in his Yellow House, hoping his friend Gauguin will come and paint beside him.
The days are hot, and the gardens of the town are full of flowers.
He finds one so crowded with blooms that there's hardly any ground to be seen.
He sets up a canvas and paints it upright: red poppies in front, then bands of yellow, white and blue, with a dark tree and a red roof at the top.
Then he takes a second canvas of exactly the same size, turns it on its side, and paints the garden again.
He writes to his brother that he has two studies of it, one vertical and one horizontal, of the same subject.
There's another painter in Arles, an American called Dodge Macknight, who usually keeps quiet about Vincent's work.
This time he speaks up. He very much liked the flower garden, Vincent reports, sounding pleased.
The two gardens went their separate ways. The other hangs in The Hague, and this one is in a private collection.
Try to count the colours. Then let them run together, the way he saw them in the sun.
Flowering Garden. 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.
