Look at the work
A tree without soil or horizon, open to the sky
The trunk enters the field from below then divides into branches which run the entire width. Some branches are cut by the edges, others end in pink buds or small white corollas surrounded by brown.
No landscape appears behind the tree. Turquoise blue acts as a luminous surface, animated by discreet variations. This close framing and sharp contours recall the Japanese prints that Van Gogh collected and studied.
The almond tree, the first tree to flower in spring, here becomes the direct sign of a birth and a beginning.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The work s0176V1962 can be recognized by its large horizontal format, the turquoise background without horizon and the main branch which rises from the lower edge.
01
Japanese framing
The tree is never shown in full. Branches enter and exit the image, as in prints where a fragment is enough to construct the space.
02
An almost decorative sky
Blue occupies the entire surface but is not a uniform flat area. Lighter, greener passages give it vibration and depth.
03
Non-repetitive flowering
Closed buds, open petals, pink accents and emerging leaves vary constantly. This diversity prevents flowers from becoming a mechanical pattern.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The Van Gogh Museum preserves Almond Tree in Flowers under number s0176V1962. Painted in February 1890, the oil on canvas measures 73.3 × 92.4 cm and corresponds to catalogs F671 and JH1891.
Gift
For Vincent Willem
Theo and Johanna have just had a son, named Vincent in homage to his uncle. The artist intended the painting for the young couple.
Symbol
The first flowering
The almond tree flowers very early in the year. Van Gogh chose this spring motif to associate the work with the new life of his nephew.
Collection
Vincent van Gogh Foundation
The painting belongs to the collection of the Vincent van Gogh Foundation and is kept at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
The painter must preserve the organic structure of the trunk, the diversity of flowers and the variations of turquoise which give air around each branch.
