The Red Vineyards near Arles is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, executed on a privately primed Toile de 30 piece of burlap in early November 1888. It depicts workers in a vineyard, and is believed to be the only painting van Gogh sold during his lifetime.
It has been listed among the artist's major works.[1]
History
The Red Vineyard was exhibited for the first time at the annual exhibition of Les XX, 1890 in Brussels, and sold for 400 Francs (equal to about $2,000 today) to Anna Boch,[2] an impressionist painter, member of Les XX and art collector from Belgium;[3][4] Anna was the sister of Eugène Boch, another impressionist painter and a friend of Van Gogh, too, who had painted Boch's portrait (Le Peintre aux Étoiles) in Arles, in autumn 1888.
The painting was later purchased, in 1909, from a Paris art gallery by Ivan Morozov.[5] Later, it was being housed in the exquisite collection of Sergei Shchukin, in Shchukin‘s home at Trubetskoy House in Moscow.[6] After the Russian revolution, the painting was subsequently nationalised by the Bolsheviks, while Shchukin was allowed to emigrate to France.[7] The Red Vineyard was eventually passed to Moscow‘s Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, where it resides today.[8]
