"La Méridienne" or "The Siesta" (1889-1890) is a notable painting by Vincent van Gogh, a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist whose work had a profound influence on 20th-century art. Created during van Gogh's time at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, this artwork reflects his intense exploration of color, emotional expression, and the innovative use of brushwork that characterizes his late period.

The painting depicts a peaceful scene of two peasants taking a nap in the heat of the day, a subject inspired by Jean-François Millet, a Realist painter whom van Gogh greatly admired. Van Gogh's version, however, is distinguished by its vibrant palette and dynamic brushstrokes, which convey the intensity of the Provençal sunlight and the tranquility of the moment. "La Méridienne" is part of a series of works in which van Gogh reinterpreted Millet's compositions, transforming them with his unique vision and style.

Measuring 73.4 cm × 91.3 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas. It showcases van Gogh's characteristic swirls and thick application of paint, techniques that contribute to the vividness and texture of the scene. The choice of colors, with dominant yellows and blues, exemplifies van Gogh's interest in color theory and his ability to evoke mood and atmosphere through chromatic contrasts.

"La Méridienne" is not only a testament to van Gogh's admiration for the laborers and their connection to the land but also an example of his ongoing experimentation with the expressive possibilities of paint. The work is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, where it continues to captivate audiences with its blend of realism and emotional intensity, emblematic of van Gogh's enduring legacy in the history of art.
