Double-square paintings have uncommonly large canvases. Vincent van Gogh, for example, used them almost exclusively during the final weeks of his life in Auvers, in June and July 1890.〔These terms were coined by Ronald Pickvance, one of the leading experts in Van Gogh-research.〕 To arrive at this size, Van Gogh simply had to combine the legs of two standard sizes: the 50 cm leg from a size 12 and the 100 cm leg of a size 40 stretcher. The result was a ''double-square'' of 50 x 100 cm, and from this size easily the ''square'' could be derived by using two 50 cm legs. Other artists prior to Van Gogh such as Charles-François Daubigny and Puvis de Chavannes〔Hammacher, A. M. ''The Ten Creative Years of Vincent van Gogh,'' Harry N. Abrams, New York, 1968. page 175〕 had used canvases of similar proportions, and Van Gogh was aware of this. But his choice of this size points into another direction. His ''double-squares'' can easily be combined with size 30 canvases to more elaborated ''décorations'', and his ''squares'' extend these possibilities. One dimension of a double-square canvas is twice the size of the other. In other words, the canvas is the shape of two adjoining squares. The overall effect of this is stability, and the compositional challenge is to avoid monotony. ==Van Gogh's Double-square canvases== File:Vincent van Gogh - Tree Roots and Trunks (F816).jpg|''Tree Roots,'' July, 1890, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (F816, JH2113) Image:|Le Soir (Château d'Auvers), Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam Image:Vincent Willem van Gogh 038.jpg|''Wheat Fields near Auvers'', June–July 1890, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna File:Wheatfield - Van Gogh.jpg|''Sheaves of Wheat'', 1890, Dallas Museum of Art (F771) Image:Van Gogh - Feld mit Korngarben.jpeg|''Field with Stacks of Grain,'' July 1890, Beyeler Foundation, Riehen, Switzerland (F809) File:Vincent van Gogh - Undergrowth with Two Figures (F773).jpg|''Undergrowth with Two Figures'', June 1890, Cincinnati Museum of Art image:VanGoghThatchedCottagesByAHill.jpg|''Thatched Cottages by a Hill,'' July 1890, Tate Gallery, London (F 793, JH 2114) image:Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) - Wheat Field with Crows (1890).jpg|''Wheat Field with Crows'', 1890, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam Image:|Hay stacks, Fondation Beyeler, Riehen File:Vincent van Gogh - Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds - VGM F778.jpg|''Wheatfieldd Under Thunderclouds'', July 1890, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam File:Van Gogh - Landschaft mit Schloss Auvers bei Sonnenuntergang.jpeg|''Landscape with Castle Auvers at Sunset'', June 1890, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (F770) File:Vincent van Gogh - Landscape at Auvers in the Rain.jpg|''Landscape at Auvers in the Rain'', July 1890, National Museum Cardiff, Wales File:VanGogh Daubigny.jpg|''Daubigny's Garden,'' July 1890, Auvers, Kunstmuseum Basel Basel. Barbizon painter Charles Daubigny moved to Auvers in 1861. Pictorially he put Auvers on the map, attracting artists Camille Corot and Honoré Daumier among others, and in 1890 Vincent van Gogh. Vincent made a second version of ''Daubigny's Garden'' in July 1890, and they are among his final works.〔Pickvance (1986), 272-273〕 Image:Vincent Willem van Gogh 021.jpg|''Daubigny's Garden'', 1890, Hiroshima Museum of Art, Hiroshima Image:|Tree trunks, 1890.
