From $100
This garden is a patchwork of dots, checks and winding lines in green, orange and blue, and a dull copy turns it to mud. Our Van Gogh Memory of the Garden at Etten print was graded beside the original so every pattern stays clear and the colours stay bright.
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 dining room or a bedroom. The greens, oranges and blues look rich with deep green, rust and walnut, and a dark wood or gold frame suits it.
About the painting
Memory of the Garden at Etten by Vincent van Gogh
Arles, November 1888
In November 1888 Paul Gauguin was staying with Vincent van Gogh in Arles and urging him to paint from imagination. “Gauguin gives me courage to imagine,” Vincent wrote. This is the result: a garden from his memory of his parents’ home at Etten in the Netherlands, painted to hang in his bedroom.
You and our mother
He sent his sister Willemien a sketch of it and wrote, “let’s suppose that these two women walking are you and our mother.” The younger wears a Scottish shawl with green and orange checks; behind them, another figure tends the flowers.
As if seen in a dream
The snaking lines, he wrote, were meant to draw the garden “as if seen in a dream, in character and yet at the same time stranger than the reality.” The painting belongs to the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.
Read the story
Vincent van Gogh painted this garden as if he had seen it in a dream.
It's November 1888, in Arles. Paul Gauguin is staying with Vincent in the Yellow House, and urging him to paint from his imagination, not from life.
Gauguin gives me courage to imagine, Vincent writes to his brother.
So he paints a memory: the garden at Etten, in the Netherlands, where his parents once lived. He means it to hang in his own bedroom.
Two women walk along a winding path at the front of the picture. Behind them, another figure tends the flowers, white and pink, yellow and red.
He sends his sister Willemien a little sketch of it. Let's suppose, he writes, that these two women walking are you and our mother.
The younger one wears a Scottish shawl with green and orange checks, and carries a red parasol.
The strange, snaking lines, he tells her, aren't meant to show the garden as it really looked. They draw it as if seen in a dream, in character, and yet stranger than the reality.
Today the painting belongs to the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.
Look at the two women on the path, and picture Vincent, far from home, putting his mother and sister there.
Memory of the Garden at Etten. 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.
