Did you know?
Van Gogh's time in Arles (1888-1889) was incredibly prolific, and his orchard paintings are a testament to his fascination with nature's renewal. He wrote excitedly about the blooming trees to his brother Theo, seeing them as symbols of hope and rebirth, often painting them quickly to capture the fleeting beauty before the blossoms fell. These works reflect his deep connection to the Provençal landscape and his evolving vibrant palette.
