Houses at Auvers is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh. It was created towards the end of May or beginning of June 1890, shortly after he had moved to Auvers-sur-Oise.

In his final two months at Saint-Rémy, van Gogh painted from memory a number of canvases he called, “reminisces of the North,” harking back to his Dutch roots. The influence of this return to the North continued at Auvers, notably in F789, The Church at Auvers. His paintings of dwellings at Auvers encompassed a range of social domains.

Van Gogh wrote his brother, Theo, and Theo’s wife after his arrival in Auvers on 20 May 1890: “Auvers is very beautiful, among other things a lot of old thatched roofs, which are getting rare…for really it is profoundly beautiful, it is the real country, characteristic and picturesque.” Indeed, Vincent’s first letters to his brother Theo from Auvers-sur-Oise were cautiously optimistic. His health was good, and he found his room comfortable.
