Van Gogh's famous Almond Blossom is painted all the way around on the inside of a mouth blown glass with oil paint.
The Almond Blossom painting by Vincent van Gogh belongs to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
This beautiful artwork features large blossom branches against a blue sky, with almond trees symbolizing new life as they flower early in the spring.
Van Gogh drew inspiration from Japanese printmaking for the bold outlines and positioning of the tree in the picture plane.
The painting was a heartfelt gift for his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo, celebrating the birth of their son, Vincent Willem. Interestingly, Vincent Willem went on to found the very museum that now houses this cherished masterpiece
Van Gogh was deeply moved when Theo and Johanna chose to name their first born son Vincent. Van Gogh wrote to his mother: “ I started right away painting for Theo’s son to hang in his bedroom big branches of almond blossoms against a bright blue sky”. He painted the early blossoming Almond trees as a symbol of the continuing of new life.
This ornament is a true collector's item. A beautiful display piece and a lovely present to an art lover.
