The Large Plane Trees, also known as
Road Menders at Saint-Rémy, is an oil-on-canvas painting by
Vincent van Gogh. Painted in 1889 in
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, the painting depicts roadworks underneath autumn trees with yellow leaves. The painting is now in the
Cleveland Museum of Art in the U.S. state of Ohio. Van Gogh painted a second version of the scene, titled
The Road Menders, which is part of
The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Analysis of the paintings has shown that
The Large Plane Trees was created first, with
The Road Menders being a copy with virtually identical outlines.
