EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Vincent van Gogh's masterpiece, "The Factory" painted between July and September of 1887. During this period, the French landscape outside Paris was undergoing a transformation due to the rapid industrialization taking place. Van Gogh chose to depict a glass factory in Asnieres, a suburb located northwest of the city. In this artwork, we witness the artist's keen eye for detail as he portrays the factory with remarkable precision. A postcard photograph from around 1900 provides us with an authentic glimpse into how Van Gogh would have seen the factory during his time there. The pathway is lined with round objects that are actually balls of glass awaiting their turn to be melted inside the buildings. These molten spheres would eventually be transformed into lantern globes used for gas streetlights and interior fixtures. Measuring at 18 1/8 x 21 7/8 inches (46 x 55.6 cm), this print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and color choice made by Van Gogh himself. It serves as a testament to his ability to capture not only nature but also man-made structures in all their intricate glory. As you gaze upon this print, take a moment to immerse yourself in Van Gogh's world - where art meets industry and beauty emerges from unexpected places.
