Blaze On The Heath Oil on buffcolour Paper, 31,00 cm x 51,00 cm . Private collection
“Yesterday I was at a large forest fire on a sweltering afternoon. It was a wood in the middle of a bare stretch of heath, and the sight was very singular because of the amazing masses of black and white smoke that were rising straight up. The fire confined itself to the heather, the pine needles and dry branches, though. The trunks remained standing.”
Vincent van Gogh 15th June 1885,
