1890. technique: oil on canvas. kröller-müller museum, otterlo, netherlands."i still have a cypress with a star from down there, a last attempt-a night sky with a moon without radiance, the slender crescent barely emerging from the opaque shadow cast by the earth-one star with an exaggerated brilliance, if you like, a soft brilliance of pink and green in the ultramarine sky, across which some clouds are hurrying. below, a road bordered with tall yellow canes, behind these the blue basses alpes, an old inn with yellow lighted windows and a very tall cypress, very straight, very sombre. on the road, a yellow cart with a white horse in harness and two late wayfarers. very romantic, if you like, but also provence, i think."-vincent van gogh to paul gauguin. auvers-sur-oise. jun 17, 1890.
