La Crau Seen from Montmajour 1888

"La Crau Seen from Montmajour" is a pen-and-ink drawing created in 1888 by the Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. The artwork, currently located at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, depicts a sweeping vista of the Crau plain, a flat and arid region in southeastern France, as seen from the hilltop of Montmajour. The drawing captures the unique landscape with its distinct rows of crops, scattered trees, and distant hills, showcasing van Gogh's characteristic use of swirling lines and expressive hatching techniques to convey depth and movement. This work provides a glimpse into van Gogh's artistic development during his time in the south of France, where he was deeply influenced by the region's unique light and landscapes.
