The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen - Vincent van Gogh (1884)


The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen, May 1884
"The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen, alternatively named The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring or Spring Garden, is an early oil painting by the 19th-century Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh, made in May 1884 while he was living with his parents in Nuenen. Van Gogh made several drawings and oil paintings of the surrounding gardens and the garden façade of the parsonage. The painting had been in the collection of the Groninger Museum since 1962, but was stolen on 30 March 2020 from an exhibition at the Singer Laren museum in Laren, North Holland, Netherlands. ... In Nuenen, Van Gogh documented the changing seasons in his paintings of the parsonage's garden, which was enclosed by a high stone wall and included a duck pond with a boat dock, paths and hedges, flower and vegetable garden plots and an orchard. Preceded by a series of wintery drawings, this painting was probably made in May 1884. It depicts a view of the garden with a dark-clothed female figure in the foreground. ..."
