Vincent van Gogh
Prisoners Exercising
From $100
This village is painted in swirling blues, greens and whites, and a flat copy loses the wind in it. Our Van Gogh houses at Auvers print was graded beside the original so the blue roof stays bright and the trees keep their movement.
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
20x16 inch, 30x24 inch, 40x32 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 living room, a kitchen or a hallway. The blues, greens and whites look fresh with white, navy and natural oak, and a white or natural frame suits it.
About the painting
Houses at Auvers by Vincent van Gogh
Auvers, May 1890
In May 1890 Vincent van Gogh left the south and settled in Auvers-sur-Oise, a village north of Paris. “Auvers is really beautiful,” he wrote, “among other things many old thatched roofs, which are becoming rare.”
Two kinds of roof
Soon after he arrived he painted these houses in the hamlet of Chaponval: two thatched cottages at the left, and a blue-tiled roof beside a thatched one. A poplar bends in the wind, and the trees swirl the way they had in Provence.
Cézanne’s house
The house in the middle belonged to a mason, and Paul Cézanne had painted it seventeen years earlier, in 1873. The Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio bought the painting in 1935.
Read the story
When Vincent van Gogh painted this house, another great painter had already been there.
It's May 1890. Vincent has left the south and moved to Auvers-sur-Oise, a village north of Paris.
Auvers is really beautiful, he writes to his brother. Among other things, many old thatched roofs, which are becoming rare.
Soon after he arrives, he walks to the hamlet of Chaponval, about a mile from the inn where he lodges.
There he paints these houses: two thatched cottages on the left, and a white house with a blue-tiled roof beside them.
The sky is heavy with clouds, a poplar bends in the wind, and the trees and gardens swirl the way they did in Provence.
The house in the middle belongs to a mason.
And seventeen years earlier, in 1873, Paul Cézanne had painted the very same house.
Vincent has only two months left to live, and he will paint Auvers again and again.
In 1935 the painting is bought by the Toledo Museum of Art, in Ohio, where it hangs today.
Look at the blue roof among the thatch, and see the village as it looked to him in his first days there.

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.
