unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Katu, Auvers-sur-Oise is a 1900 unspecified by Vincent van Gogh, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a small village with bright orange roofs and white walls. The sky is a swirling mix of blue and white, and the trees are thick with green leaves. In the foreground, a grassy path leads past a stone wall and a house with a dark door. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Check out *impasto* to see how artists use paint like this.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.
