Avenue of Plane Trees near Arles Station Postcard — Vincent van Gogh | Zolota Ptakha

Painted in late autumn 1888 along an old Roman road behind the station at Arles, this canvas catches Van Gogh between the harvests and the great Provençal nights. The bare plane trees set up an almost musical rhythm; the picture is less a record of place than a study in cadence and clear, late light.
