Overwhelming light, moving trees: Van Gogh captures the essence of the South through the olive trees

Created in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in 1889, Olive Trees under the Sun is one of the most powerful canvases by Van Gogh, in which the artist explores the tension between heat, light, and plant form.
In this vibrant landscape, the twisted olive trees, the undulating ground, and the fiery sky compose an intensely expressive vision of the Mediterranean nature.

A rhythmic composition, almost abstract, where light becomes matter

Swirling trees, a burning ground, a sunny yellow sky

The olive trees are painted with remarkable vigor: their trunks are twisted, their silvery leaves swept by the wind.
The sun, omnipresent, transforms the ground into a sea of yellow and ochre, almost moving.
The sky, often depicted in blue by Van Gogh, becomes here orange-yellow, radiating the entire scene with an almost supernatural warmth.

The palette is intense and contrasted :
– Golden yellows, oranges, and warm ochres,
– Deep and bluish greens of the foliage,
– Brown, purple, almost black trunks,
all applied in dynamic and circular strokes, creating a permanent visual movement.

A tribute to the burning earth, to rooted life, and to the divine light

Van Gogh considered olive trees as sacred trees, bearers of an energy both telluric and celestial.

"Olive trees have something biblical about them. Their twisted shape is full of truth."
– Vincent van Gogh (inspired by his letters to Theo)

In this work, he does not seek to represent reality, but to express what nature makes him feel: the warmth, the light, the strength, and the intensity of life.
