In this artwork, how is the Auvers-sur-Oise of the Periods elucidated?
In May 1890, Van Gogh traveled from Saint-Rémy to Paris, where he had a three-day stay with his brother, Theo, Theo's wife Johanna and their new baby Vincent.  Van Gogh found that unlike his past experiences in Paris, he was no longer used to the commotion of the city and was too agitated to paint.  His brother, Theo and artist Camille Pissarro developed a plan for Van Gogh to go to Auvers-sur-Oise with a letter of introduction for Dr. Paul Gachet, a homeopathic physician and art patron who lived in Auvers. Van Gogh had a room at the inn Auberge Ravoux in Auvers and was under the care and supervision of Dr. Gachet with whom he grew to have a close relationship, "something like another brother."For a time, Van Gogh seemed to improve.  He began to paint at such a steady pace, there was barely space in his room for all the finished paintings. From May until his death on July 29, Van Gogh made about 70 paintings, more than one a day, and many drawings.." Van Gogh painted buildings around the town of Auvers, such as The Church at Auvers, portraits, and the nearby fields.Van Gogh arrived in Auvers in late spring as pea plants and wheat fields on gently sloping hills ripened for harvest.  The area bustled as migrant workers from France and Brussels descended on the area for the harvest.  Partial to rural life, Van Gogh strongly portrayed the beauty of the Auvers country side.  He wrote his brother, "I have one study of old thatched roofs with a field of peas in flower in the foreground and some wheat, the background of hills, a study which I think you will like."
