Thatched Cottages at Cordeville replica in oil on canvas

Thatched Cottages at Cordeville is remarkably different from the earlier works of Van Gogh. In the works previous to this, Van Gogh generously used contrasting colors to bring vibrancy and brilliance to his works of art.

Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.

Van Gogh’s Love for Thatched Roofs

Van Gogh was a troubled man. He voluntarily confined himself for one year at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, France. After a year, he moved to Auvers-Sur-Oise, north of Paris. His love for the countryside is clearly visible in his art.

Most striking to Van Gogh were the thatched roofs of the village cottages. He wrote to both his brother and sister about them. To Theo, his brother, he wrote of his plans to paint the thatched roofs and hoped that these paintings could fetch him some money to make up for his stay expenses.

To his sister Willemien, he wrote, “Here there are roofs of mossy thatch which are superb, and of which I’ll certainly do something”

About Thatched Cottages at Cordeville

A lot of the Romantics also depicted the Auvers countryside. They painted it showing the calmness, serenity and beauty in all their glory. Van Gogh’s depiction, however, was very different.

Truly characteristic of his style, this entire painting narrates crude motion.  It is quite evident in the landscape, the clouds, and even the cottages. For instance, the thatched cottages and landscapes here are highly distorted, flowing and blending into one another.

In another letter to his brother, Van Gogh wrote that he was doing two studies of houses out in the countryside. Thatched Cottages at Cordeville (a hamlet in Auvers) is one of the three paintings depicting these houses. The other two are titled “Houses in Auvers”.
