Hand painted oil reproduction of a famous Vincent Van Goghpainting, Brancheswith Almond Blossom. The original masterpiece wascreated in 1890. Today it has been carefully recreated detail bydetail, color by color to near perfection.
Blossoming Almond Tree was a unique project that had personalmeaning for the artist. Van Gogh had a very close relationship withhis brother Theo. As a result of this relationship, when Theo''swife Jo gave birth to a son, they named the boy Vincent after theartist himself. Van Gogh was touched by this gesture, although hestated in letters to his mother that he would have preferred thatthe boy had been named after his and Theo''s father instead. Incelebration of the birth however, Van Gogh created the now famouspainting of almond blossoms to be hung above his brother''sbed.
The painting depicts the branches of an almond tree, with delicatewhite blossoms. The tree and blossoms are set against thebackground of a blue sky. Almond blossoms were an ideal choice forthis painting, as they represented hope and new life to the artist.Traditionally considered a post-impressionist artist, Vincent VanGogh''s approach to post-impressionism was to communicate his stateof mind through his art. This is evident in the painting, which wascreated during a time when the artist himself felt hopeful for thefuture and was in good spirits. In addition to post-impressionisttendencies when it came to art, many of Van Gogh''s works also hada distinctive Asian influence. The Van Gogh Blossoming Almond Treepainting shared attributes of both, but was an obvious testament tothe artist’s fascination with Japanese art and prints. The picturewas completed in early 1890 and was given to his brother only a fewshort months before Van Gogh''s death in July of 1890.
The Japanese-influenced painting is ideally suited to enhance thetranquil atmosphere of a room. The soothing colors and reaching,gnarled branches of the Van Gogh Blossoming Almond Tree will drawthe attention of the viewer and makes an attractive addition to anyroom.
