Exterior of a Restaurant at Asnières Vincent van Gogh Date: 1887; Paris, France * Style: Post-Impressionism Genre: cityscape Media: oil, canvas Location: Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The building's purpose in Exterior of a Restaurant at Asnières (F321) is suggested by the open door, potted plants and outdoor table. The painting portrays a mid-summer day, there is no shade and the colors of the painting are warm summer colors.[10] The planter brims with flowering oleander blossoms.[20] Both the composition and color scheme are simple, the key colors are yellow in the wall and paving and green in the shutters and plants.[10] The motif was first inspired by a Parisian restaurant with a row of six planters filled with shrubs against a yellow wall with green shutters. The colors and shutters were used again in Vincent's House in Arles (The Yellow House) that he made in Arles in 1888.
