French Riviera Painting Van Gogh A bold flourish of red

A bold flourish of red that turns a bare wall into a statement

It earns its place above a long sofa in a contemporary lounge

The warm orange face plays beautifully against grey concrete

It suits a study or reading corner where its warm

his scythe barely visible amid the rhythm of the stalks

French Riviera Painting Van Gogh A bold flourish of redPainted in loose, buttery brushstrokes, this scene tumbles down a sunlit Mediterranean hillside toward a glittering blue bay. Terracotta roofed houses cluster along the slope, their ochre and rose walls draped with climbing flowers in crimson and pink, while a tall dark cypress rises beside a stone path that winds toward the water. Sailing boats drift across the turquoise sea below, framed by hazy violet mountains and a sky piled with soft cumulus.
