Golden wheat field under a blue sky, with a town silhouetted at sunset, chimneys, a windmill and smoke on the horizon.

Summer evening in Arles

A golden wheat field fills the foreground under a blue sky, with a silhouetted town, chimneys, a windmill and smoke along the horizon as the sun sets. Thick, rapid brushstrokes in yellow, orange and blue give the oil painting a textured, glowing surface.

Español: Tarde de verano en Arlés

Un campo de trigo dorado ocupa el primer plano bajo un cielo azul, con un pueblo en silueta, chimeneas, un molino y humo en el horizonte mientras se pone el sol. Pinceladas gruesas y rápidas en amarillo, naranja y azul dan a la pintura al óleo una superficie vibrante y texturada.

Português: Tarde de verão em Arles

Um campo de trigo dourado ocupa o primeiro plano sob um céu azul, com uma cidade em silhueta, chaminés, um moinho e fumaça no horizonte enquanto o sol se põe. Pinceladas grossas e rápidas em amarelo, laranja e azul dão à pintura a óleo uma superfície vibrante e texturizada.
