A Lane near Arles — Vincent van Gogh Postcard, 1888

Painted during Vincent van Gogh's first Provence summer of 1888, A Lane near Arles holds the slow rhythm of a country road under tall poplars. The long avenue, receding into Provençal light, belongs to the same Arles months that produced the Sunflowers and the Night Café — a quieter note in a season of discoveries. The postcard turns one of his early Arles studies into a piece of art-stationery for correspondence, collecting, or a small framed display. From the Vincent van Gogh collection.
