The Flowering Orchard by Vincent van Gogh
The Flowering Orchard (1888)
Vincent van Gogh | Post-Impressionism | Oil on canvas
Fruit trees in pale, fresh blossom stand in a grassy meadow dotted with tiny flowers, their purple-brown branches twisting across the canvas. Look closely and you can spot a rake lying in the grass. Van Gogh arrived in Arles, in the south of France, in February 1888, and within weeks the orchards burst into bloom.
Did you know? That spring Van Gogh painted about fourteen pictures of trees in blossom around Arles. The wind blew so hard that he tied his easel to pegs hammered into the ground, and kept right on painting!
