Blossoming Almond Tree
by GOGH, Vincent van, Oil on canvas, 74 x 92 cm
Catalogue numbers: F 671, JH 1891.
Van Gogh especially liked to paint blossoming trees to celebrate the birth of his loved ones. He commemorated the birth of his nephew with the present Blossoming Almond Tree.
Never before had van Gogh viewed the bright buds in such a close-up, never before had he lavished such colour on the glorious blossoms.
