The Yellow House (The Street), 1888
The Yellow House, with its bright green shutters and door, forms part of an urban view of Arles, which includes a steam train passing over a bridge and mounds of earth for roadworks. Van Gogh was proud to have a home and studio of his own in Arles, and was enamoured by the vibrant palette of colours the Provençal light, weather and even building materials allowed him to explore.
