Which museum in Moscow holds Van Gogh's 'The Red Vineyard'?

Moscow’s Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts holds Van Gogh’s The Red Vineyard. The painting, also known as The Red Vineyard at Arles, was made in 1888 during Van Gogh’s intensely productive period in southern France.

The scene shows laborers working among vines near Arles, with the low sun turning the landscape red, orange, and violet. Van Gogh painted it on burlap, using energetic strokes and strong complementary colors to convey the autumn light. The work became famous as the only painting traditionally identified as having been sold during his lifetime.

That selling story is often simplified: evidence suggests Van Gogh sold at least one other work, but The Red Vineyard remains the best-known documented sale. Belgian artist Anna Boch bought it at the 1890 Les XX exhibition in Brussels. It later entered the collection of Russian art collector Ivan Morozov, was nationalized after the Russian Revolution, and eventually reached Moscow’s Pushkin Museum. The museum’s name can cause confusion with literary museums devoted to Alexander Pushkin; this is the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts.
