Artist Description:
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a profoundly influential Dutch Post-Impressionist painter, widely regarded as one of the greatest artists in history. Though he struggled with severe mental illness throughout his life, his work, created almost entirely within a single decade, is characterized by bold colors, dramatic, impulsive, and expressive brushwork (impasto), and contoured forms that powerfully convey emotion rather than just visual reality. He settled in Auvers-sur-Oise, a picturesque village near Paris, for the final, intensely prolific months of his life, where he produced over 80 paintings before his death in July 1890.

The painting is titled Bank of the Oise at Auvers (also known as Rowing Boats on the Banks of the Oise at Auvers), painted in July 1890 in oil on canvas. It is housed in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts.
