The Red Vineyards near Arles is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. It depicts workers in a vineyard, and it is the only painting known by name that van Gogh sold in his lifetime. The painting was completed in early November 1888. It has been listed among the artist's major works.
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.
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.
