This painting was created during the later period of Vincent's life, when he had already moved to a mental health sanatorium in search of peace and tranquility. These moods can clearly be felt in this enchanting work, painted in soft green-yellow and blue-violet tones.
Thick brushstrokes, textured lines, expressive objects — all the signature elements of Van Gogh's style are present here. The cozy dawn in a still-sleepy, empty village immerses us in the artist’s state of mind — somewhat meditative and anxious. It was during this time that he was struggling with his mental illness and inner demons. This painting was created in the last year of his life.
