Painted in July, 1890, and completed just 3 days before his death, it depicts a landscape at Auvers-sur-Oise, where van Gogh spent the last year of his life. It is one of thirteen double-square canvases of landscapes around Auvers completed by van Gogh between 17 June and 27 July. The depiction of the rain with dark, diagonal lines are considered to be inspired by Japanese art, specifically the woodcuts of Utagawa Hiroshige.[2] It also displays the visceral relationship between nature and emotionality that is a trademark of van Gogh's later work, as well as the stylistic innovations of a raised horizon line, expressive brushstrokes, and increasing chromaticity. This was one of van Gogh's last paintings before his death. The painting was purchased by Gwendoline Davies in 1920 and donated to the National Museum of Art in Cardiff, Wales, as part of her bequest in 1952.[3][2]
