Look at the work
A tree in bloom to unite mourning with the light of spring
The dark trunk divides very low and fills almost the entire vertical format. Its gnarled branches bear a multitude of pink and white touches which nevertheless allow the sky to breathe between them.
On the ground, green, yellow and purple bands lead to other trees in the orchard and a small fence. The first peach tree remains monumental, but the depth of the garden remains legible behind its flowering.
Pink peach trees, "Souvenir de Mauve" is an oil on canvas of 73 × 60 cm painted in Arles around March 30, 1888. The work F394/JH1379 is kept at the Kroeller-Müller Museum under number KM 108.317.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh considers this painting one of the successes of his series of flowering orchards. After learning of the death of Anton Mauve, his relative by marriage and former teacher, he decides to dedicate this landscape to him, both tender and joyful.
01
The dark trunk gives a pink-abundant framework
Its thick forks organize hundreds of small flowery touches. Without this framework, the peach tree would dissolve in the sky and the trees in the background.
02
The blue of the sky makes the flowers vibrate
Pink and blue oppose each other gently rather than violently. Intermediate whites and mauves maintain a clear atmosphere, true to the idea of a comforting homage.
03
The inscription changes the function of the landscape
Placed in the lower left corner, "Mauve Souvenir" does not describe the place: it gives the entire flowering the value of a memory offered.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
F394/JH1379, the format of 73 × 60 cm and the inventory KM 108,317 distinguish this large vertical peach tree from the other orchards painted by Van Gogh during the brief flowering of 1888.
Homage
Anton Mauve had introduced Van Gogh to oil and watercolor
Mauve, a cousin by marriage, had given him lessons in The Hague. The dedication recalls this artistic debt despite the tensions which then pushed the two men apart.
Letter
Van Gogh wanted a "tender and very cheerful" image
He explains to Theo that a memory of Mauve should not have been a dark study. The pink orchard thus offers a luminous response to the news of his death.
Series
Fourteen paintings are born during flowering
In the spring of 1888, Van Gogh worked almost every day among the fruit trees of Arles, aware that the flowers would quickly disappear.
The copy must preserve the branched structure of the peach tree, the pink and white flowers, the blue sky openings, the colorful bands of the orchard and the dedication at the bottom left.
