Mountains at Saint-Remy with Dark Cottage 1889

Vincent van Gogh's "Mountains at Saint-Remy with Dark Cottage" (1889) is a vibrant landscape painting depicting the rolling hills of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where the artist was undergoing treatment for mental illness. Van Gogh's signature thick brushstrokes, visible in the swirling sky and textured hills, create a sense of movement and energy, while the dark cottage in the foreground suggests isolation and introspection. The painting is a striking example of Post-Impressionism, a movement that emphasized subjective expression and emotional intensity. Currently housed in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, "Mountains at Saint-Remy with Dark Cottage" offers a glimpse into Van Gogh's inner world during a turbulent period of his life.
