FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
Vincent Van Gogh moved to southern France after staying a year in an asylum in Saint-Rémy. The artist was attracted to the landscapes of this rural area and portrayed them in many paintings and drawings.
This painting, Harvest at La Crau with Montmajour in the Background was made during this final period of the artist’s life. He had adapted his color pallet with more luminous tonalities than before, giving this painting a gentle touch. The composition of the painting is simple but captivating. A diagonal road appears on the bottom right of the canvas, followed by a line of vegetation and a fence in the same direction. The blossoming peach trees also follow the same path, reinforcing the linear perspective of the painting. However, Van Gogh also skillfully guides the viewer's eye into the distance using atmospheric perspective—starting at the pale peach blossoms, in the foreground, past the red-roofed houses, and finally taking us to the intensely blue color of the mountains on the far horizon.
The extraordinary color pallet gives this painting the life of spring. The road is brown with specks of blue and yellow as if it were reflecting the colors of the sky. The yellow-green fence and some areas of the green, ochre, and brownfield also portray smudges of vivid blue. The peach trees pop to the viewer's eyes as the painter uses white and pink to complement with the adjacent colors of the field. The trees almost mimic the white clouds portrayed in the blue, purple, green and yellow sky. The houses are painted with ochre walls and warm brown roof tiles.
This particular spring scene, La Crau With Peach Trees In Blossom was also painted in Harvest at La Crau with Montmajour in the Background, in a different angle and season. As a Post-Impressionist, it was important to Van Gogh to paint en plein air—in other words, painting outside, observing optical effects natural light has on figures and landscapes.
Van Gogh was greatly inspired by the Japanese art brought to Europe at the time, mainly woodcut prints. By collecting prints and reading about the Orient, he painted the French landscapes with his vision of this mysterious world. We can observe certain aesthetic elements Van Gogh uses that come from the Japanese influence, like bright colors, unusual compositions, and dark contours.

Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.
If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.
If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.

Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.

Stretched, Gallery Wrapped and Framed paintings are covered with protective bubble wrap, separated by foam board and then carefully put into the cardboard box.
