The Large Plane Trees

The Large Plane Trees, also called Road Menders at Saint-Rémy is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh.

Van Gogh painted "The Large Plane Trees" first on a red and white checkered table cloth.

[1] Van Gogh depicted road work in Saint-Rémy, and the autumn yellow leaves of plane trees.

[2][3] This scene was repeated in The Road Menders, part of the Philips Collection in Washington D.C.[4] In 2013, the two paintings were displayed together as part of the Van Gogh Repetitions exhibition at the Phillips Collection before The Large Plane Trees was moved to the Cleveland Museum of Art.

[5] Analysis shows that The Large Plane Trees was created first, with The Road Menders being a copy with virtually identical outlines.
