Notes
  • The left-hand drawing is generally taken to be a study for Starry Night and is thus dated to May-June by the Van Gogh Museum (Naifeh, Smith n. 314). However Ronald Pickvance thought the drawing was probably dated later (Pickvance p. 103).
  • The drawing is nevertheless certainly a careful sketch of St. Rémy-de-Provence. Note that Vincent has included the rotunda (and a suggestion of the neoclassioc vestibule) of the church, omitting them in his painting Starry Night. Pickvance thought the steeple in that painting more Dutch than Provence, the first of Vincent's "memories of the North" (des souvenirs du nord) he was to refer to in a later letter from Saint-Rémy, his first letter after his most serious collapse at the beginning of 1890 (Pickvance p. 103).[1]
  • The right hand sketches of the perspective frame was redated to Auvers 1890 by editors (de la Faille p. 563).
  • Vincent had used a perspective frame since his earliest days at The Hague (c.f. letter 253). He used it both in the studio for his figure studies and outdoors, especially in drawings such as Bird's-Eye View involving aerial perspective, in which he excelled (Naifeh, Smith p. 292) . He used it at Arles, notably for his Langlois Bridge series, but abandoned it after his visit to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. However he used it again at Saint-Rémy at least in F1497 Pine Trees in the Walled Garden of the Asylum, as evidenced by traces of guidelines, and another sketch F1637v indicates that he still had it in mind a year later in Auvers (Vellekoop p. 298)
