We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Vincent van Gogh also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Harvest at La Crau with Montmajour is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

Here in the sun-baked fields of Provence, Van Gogh gives us not just a landscape but a meditation on human labor and natural abundance. The painting captures the height of harvest season near Arles, where the artist immersed himself in the rhythms of rural life. The composition unfolds like a visual journey, beginning with the robust haystack in the foreground and extending toward the distant Montmajour Abbey, its presence barely discernible against the blue mountains.

The artist's signature brushwork transforms every element into a vehicle of emotional and atmospheric intensity. Notice how the wheat stubble is rendered in decisive, rhythmic strokes that seem to vibrate with residual heat. The picket fence cuts across the foreground in a series of vertical marks, creating a visual counterpoint to the horizontal sweep of the fields. This is painting that refuses to sit still, where every blade of grass and grain of wheat asserts its presence through the physical act of mark-making.

Van Gogh's palette here is a masterclass in chromatic restraint and power. The dominant golden yellows of the wheat fields sing against that extraordinary Provençal sky – a blue that seems to vibrate with summer heat. These complementary colors create a tension that energizes the entire canvas. The small touches of orange in the rooftops and the deep greens of the scattered vegetation provide crucial points of accent in this carefully orchestrated color scheme.

Painted during an extraordinarily productive period in 1888, this work embodies Van Gogh's mission to capture the dignity of agricultural labor. The cart wheels, ladders, and distant figures are not mere documentary details but symbols in a larger narrative about human relationship with the land. The painting's power lies in how it transforms prosaic rural activity into something approaching the mythic, achieved not through romanticization but through an intensity of observation that reveals the extraordinary within the ordinary. This is landscape painting reimagined as both social document and personal testimony.
