What is the name of this painting of a giant peach floating down a river?

Question

I think the artist was Vincent Van Gogh, it's a painting of a river in the daytime, with a giant peach drifting past a fisherman on the banks. I just can't remember what it's called!! Somebody help?

Well, I'm not too sure about the artist, actually. Van Gogh just rings a bell. I saw the picture in my science textbook from last year (it was an info box about a pigment called Chrome Yellow, which was apparently used to color the sun in the painting)

Answer 1

Van Gogh did not paint giant peaches floating down rivers. Sorry, but you've got the artist wrong.

There is, of course, Roald Dahl's famous children's book, "James and the Giant Peach." Perhaps you saw an illustration from that. Or some surrealist work.

But it was not a van Gogh.
