The Red Vineyard (75.0 x 93.0 cm) was painted November 4 1888 by Vincent van Gogh. While painting Van Gogh was not standing in front of the Vineyard, he painted it at the Yellow House completely out of memory and imagination the day after he walked through the nearby wine plantation.
Fifteen months later The Red Vineyard was exhibited in the 1890 The XX Art Expo in Brussels. Anna Boch bought it for 400 Francs (about $1600 in today's values).
The purchase made Anna Boch enter the history books as the Red Vinyard painting is believed to be the one and only painting Van Gogh sold during his lifetime.
