Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 20.5 × 15.9 in print therefore arrives as 22.8 × 18.3 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 29.9 × 23.3 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Vincent van Gogh's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 52 × 40.5 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In "Houses and Figure," painted in 1890, Vincent van Gogh offers a swirling depiction of rural life that vibrates with energy. It's not a static scene, but one pulsing with motion and rhythm. The homes, with their green thatched roofs, are alive, almost breathing, as smoke billows in winding trails from their chimneys, twisting upwards against a pale pink sky. Van Gogh's signature brushstrokes are evident here—bold, thick, and unrestrained. Each line seems to quiver with life, contributing to the sense that the village is in constant flux, almost as if it’s in the process of shifting and reshaping itself.

The sunlight, low on the horizon, casts a yellow glow, bathing the entire landscape in a strange, almost dreamlike light. It’s warm yet otherworldly, casting the buildings and the figure in the foreground into a peculiar, surreal atmosphere. The figure—a lone, seemingly weary traveler—walks down a path that curves through the landscape. His slouched posture and detached expression contrast with the lively energy of the surrounding homes, adding a human touch of isolation amid this vibrant, animated world.

What’s so striking about this piece is how Van Gogh gives the countryside a personality. The earth feels like it’s moving, the homes seem alive, and the figure is both part of this world and removed from it, wandering through as if caught between the whimsical movement of the village and his own solitary journey. It's an intimate yet dynamic portrayal of a fleeting moment in an ever-changing landscape, typical of Van Gogh’s restless and intensely emotive vision.
