Van Gogh spent the last few months of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise, a small quiet town just north of Paris after he left the asylum in Saint-Remy in May 1890. The painter was highly productive in Auvers and often went out into the countryside to work in the open air and paint landscapes with cottages and rural scenes. Van Gogh began the painting of a vineyard with a pencil drawing. Then he added oil paint and watercolor in many different shades of blue. He painted some of the roofs red, but these have since faded to brown. Because he left large areas of the paper blank, the color white plays a large role in the scene. The drawing is in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

Vincent Van Gogh is considered one of the most important painters in art history. Inspired by the famous artist, Visconti re-imagined his colors, textures and emotions to create their iconic Van Gogh collection. Made from natural resin, uniquely mixed to represent the palettes of oil paint Van Gogh used to paint his masterpieces, the pen collection features Visconti's eighteen-faceted design which enhances their vivid colors. The meticulous selection of resins and their color mix is one of the major innovations introduced by the Van Gogh collection. This collection may be personalized using Visconti's "My Pen System" and features a magnetic closure system. The clip on each pen is unique to Visconti and reveals the origin of the brand, as it takes inspiration from the Ponte Vecchio Bridge in Florence, Italy.
