The Large Plane Trees, also known as Road Menders at Saint-Rémy, is an oil-on-canvas painting by Vincent van Gogh. Painted in 1889 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, the painting depicts roadworks underneath autumn trees with yellow leaves. The painting is now in the Cleveland Museum of Art in the U.S. state of Ohio. Van Gogh painted a second version of the scene, titled The Road Menders, which is part of The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Analysis of the paintings has shown that The Large Plane Trees was created first, with The Road Menders being a copy with virtually identical outlines.
