*** About the Country Road in Provence by Night:

*** Created in 1890 during Vincent van Gogh’s productive but tumultuous stay in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this masterpiece highlights his transition toward greater expression and emotional depth. The style, characterized by bold, dramatic brush strokes and vibrant color contrasts, typifies Van Gogh's post-Impressionist approach, which emphasizes personal expression over direct representation. Inspired by his surroundings and the celestial bodies overhead, Van Gogh sought to capture the emotional and spiritual resonances evoked by the night landscape. This painting, like many of his works from this period, reflects his ongoing battle with mental illness and his solace in the therapeutic nature of art. The current location of this artwork is at the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands, where it continues to captivate and inspire viewers.
