Almond Blossom

by Vincent van Gogh was painted in 1890 in Arles at the beginning of spring in the south of France. has a composition unlike any other of van Gogh's paintings, the branches of the almond tree seem to float against the shifting blue sky and dark lines outline the branches mimicking Japanese floral studies that van Gogh admired greatly. Almond trees were special to van Gogh, they represented awakening, new life and hope. a softly stated 19th century van Gogh floral art print worthy of a special place in an array of interior decor styles.
