Product information "Vincent van Gogh: Picture 'Fishing in Spring' (1887), framed"
In the spring of 1886, Vincent van Gogh accepted the invitation of his brother, the art dealer Theo van Gogh, and moved to Paris. 'I hope to make such progress that you can show my work without hesitation', he told him in advance, and van Gogh's painting did indeed change. He met Degas, Pissarro, Seurat and many other artists; he exhibited with Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Emile Bernard and Paul Gauguin the following year. His encounter with the Impressionists and his interest in Japanese woodcuts led to his palette becoming more colourful. 'Fishing in Spring' is a perfect example of this. The painting is part of a series of works that depict the Seine bridge built in 1874 between Clichy on the right bank and Asnières-sur-Seine on the left bank in very different ways - just as Hokusai had done in his series of views of Mount Fuji, for example. And it is a clearly Impressionist-inspired and atmospheric masterpiece.Original: 1887, oil on canvas, 49 x 58 cm, Art Institute Chicago.
