How many paintings did Van Gogh produce during his final 70 days in Auvers-sur-Oise? He produced approximately 70 paintings.
Van Gogh moved to Auvers-sur-Oise in May 1890, after leaving the asylum at Saint-Rémy, so he could live closer to his brother Theo and consult Dr Paul Gachet. During roughly 70 days in the Paris-area village, he worked at an extraordinary pace, producing about 70 oil paintings along with numerous drawings and other works.
The period included portraits, village scenes, landscapes, wheat fields, cottages, and views of gardens. Paintings associated with Auvers include Portrait of Dr Gachet, The Church at Auvers, Wheatfield with Crows, and several views of Daubigny’s Garden. His brushwork became especially energetic, with elongated forms and turbulent lines.
The figure should be understood as an approximate art-historical count, not a perfectly fixed inventory. Scholars differ over whether unfinished works, studies, or disputed attributions should be included. That is why reliable summaries often phrase the total as “approximately 70,” while trivia questions conventionally give the rounded answer 70.
