L'œuvre en bref

The post-impressionist painting presents an interesting and slightly distorted perspective of the street, accentuating the lines and angles of the buildings. The yellow house, with its ochre walls and green shutters, is the focal point of the composition and seems to emerge from the surrounding urban landscape. The bright, contrasting colours and the expressive, vigorous brushstrokes are characteristic of Van Gogh's style. The azure sky contrasts with the warm hues of the buildings, creating a sunny, Mediterranean atmosphere.

The artist also painted figures in the scene, adding life and movement to the composition. "The Yellow House" reflects Van Gogh's fascination with the colours and landscapes of the Midi, as well as his desire to create an artistic community in this region. This work is a striking example of Van Gogh's Arles period, which strongly influenced the development of his art and his world view.
