Vincent in Arles
(1888)
It still amazes me how different some digital pics can be on the internet.
A good examples the next painting date October 1888 mentioned in a letter to Theo:
<i> …the Trinquetaille bridge with all its steps is a canvas done on a grey morning, the stones, the asphalt, the cobblestones are grey, the sky a pale blue, the small figures colourful, a puny tree with yellow foliage.</i>
So the reproduction should be grey and what do you find online is this:
But also this:
October, 1888
Oil on canvas
73.5 x 92.5 cm.
Private collection
Since the whereabouts of this painting are unknown it’s impossible to determine which one is more accurate.
Probably the second but I can’t help also liking the first…
Which one do you prefer?
