Auvers-sur-Oise (1890)
Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890)

Van Gogh spent the last two months of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise, where he hoped to recuperate from his psychiatric problems. In that short period  he was inspired by the beautiful rural countryside to make nearly a painting a day. He enthusiastically wrote to his brother, Theo, and his sister-in-law, Jo: 'Auvers is truly beautiful - among other things many old thatched roofs, which are becoming rare'.
