Choose options
Factories at Asnières, painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1887, captures the industrial fringe of Paris seen from across the Seine, its smoking chimneys and scattered rooftops set against a golden foreground of ripening wheat. Painted during his two years in Paris, the work reflects Van Gogh’s growing fascination with the modern, industrialising landscape at the city’s edge, a subject he explored repeatedly around the suburb of Asnières alongside his contemporaries Bernard and Signac. The bright, high-keyed palette and visible brushwork show the direct impact of Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist colour theory on his developing style.
Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890). Date: 1887.
