History


The Red Vineyard was exhibited for the first time at the annual exhibition of Les XX, 1890, in Brussels, and sold for 400 francs (equal to about $2,000 today) to Belgian painter and collector Anna Boch, a member of Les XX.[4][5] Anna was the sister of Eugène Boch, another impressionist painter and a friend of Van Gogh, too, who had painted Boch's portrait (Le Peintre aux Étoiles) in Arles, in autumn 1888. In a later letter to his brother Theo discussing the sale, Van Gogh admitted with some embarrassment that the Bochs paid the Les XX 1890 Exhibition sticker price, when in fact they probably should have gotten a "friend's price".[6]

The painting was later purchased, in 1909, from a Paris art gallery by Ivan Morozov. After the Russian Revolution, the painting was subsequently nationalised by the Bolsheviks and was eventually passed to Moscow‘s Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, where it resides today.[7]

La vigna rossa è un olio su tela del pittore olandese Vincent van Gogh, eseguito ad Arles nel novembre 1888. È l'unico dipinto che riuscì certamente a vendere durante la sua vita. Tuttavia, è probabile che lo stesso pittore fosse riuscito a vendere almeno un'altra delle sue tele, in quanto, come affermato nella lettera al fratello n° 506, afferma di aver ricevuto 20 franchi per il ritratto di un amico di padre Tanguy, probabilmente agli inizi del 1888.
